Back in the Saddle Equine Therapy Center
(aka  BITS ETC)

Picture

​Back in the Saddle Equine Therapy Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit  association located in central New Hampshire.  BITS ETC is dedicated to  providing quality time with a horse for people from 2 to 92. 

​Certified instructors and therapists provide safe and effective treatment for people living with disabilities.  Therapeutic riding can improve physical strength and balance.

We depend on individual and corporate donations in order to keep our programs going.  Please consider making a donation today so those with special needs can continue their progress.

Craig, another veteran, first came to BITS as a volunteer.  He left for a while, but his great enthusiasm and dedication for our mission brought him back to us where he not only helps out with the horses and grounds, but is a member of our board of directors and liaison with the New Hampshire VA.  Here he is on Disco, courtesy of our Ride UP program.
