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

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.

Ride UP Veterans' Program

This program is FREE to veterans and
Uniformed Professionals (first responders).
If you'd like to join us, please contact us for more details.

Here is Lonnie, a Cold War veteran who thoroughly enjoyed his first day in the Ride UP program.

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.

A First Responder from Henniker works with one of our certified instructors.
