About Us

At Oconee Therapeutic Riding (OTR), we are dedicated to transforming lives through the unique and powerful connection between horses and humans. Located just outside of Watkinsville, Georgia, our nonprofit organization provides equine-assisted therapy to riders of all ages and abilities. Our mission is to harness the profound healing power of horses to foster physical, emotional, and social growth in our participants.

We proudly uphold our core values—Belonging, Excellence, Integrity, and Safety—which guide every aspect of our program. These values ensure that we create an inclusive, supportive, and enriching environment for our riders and their families. At OTR, we believe in the life-changing potential of equine therapy, where horses and humans come together to achieve greater wellbeing and joy.
