City to Saddle

Rutland, Mass.

"To Give a Child A Leg Up!" That’s the motto of City to Saddle, and has been since their launch well over two decades ago.

It underscores their mission of providing equestrian opportunities for under-served children – programs that enrich the lives of boys and girls in so many ways—fostering confidence, self-fulfillment, and joy.

City to Saddle is a grassroots Massachusetts-based, non-profit, 501(c)3 organization run by a devoted group of volunteers. They engage children in inspiring and transformational horsemanship experiences.

City to Saddle funds and arranges riding opportunities for children ages 6-14. Since 2004, we have enrolled hundreds of boys and girls from inner city Boston, Worcester, and other areas into a variety of equestrian programs at barns throughout Massachusetts.
