Rider Enrollment Forms

Before anyone can enroll in our specialized therapy sessions, they must fill out the following forms:

 

Scholarship Program

Scholarships are offered to Saddle Light Center (SLC) riders for the calendar year May 1 through April 30. You will be asked to reapply each year by April 15. If you choose not to reapply, or become ineligible, scholarship funding will stop effective May 1. You may continue in the riding program using a different payment resource. Decisions are based on a combination of factors including financial need, anticipated benefits to the rider’s disabilities, the commitment to attending sessions at least once a week, and available funds.
