Macashowen Arabians is a North American Riding for the Handicapped Operating Center. We provide therapeutic riding for individuals with special needs and offer a full range of traditional training programs and services.

Located approximately three miles off Volcano Highway (11) in the Mt. View area. Our facility consists of two 4-stall barns, stallion enclosures, a foaling/medical procedure stall, both outdoor and indoor arenas, office/tack room, and a visitor waiting area. The facility grounds house between 8 and 10 Arabians. An Arabian's easy-going temperament and smooth gait are terrific for beginning riders.

Our goal at Macashowen Arabians is to provide our students with the safest, most enjoyable equine education possible. To ensure this, we require all instructors to be instructor certified and trained in CPR and First Aid. Volunteers must be trained in CPR and First Aid as well. We at Macashowen Arabians take pride in the cleanliness, organization, and professionalism of our facility. We strive to provide each individual with an environment and services commensurate with his or her needs.
