About Us

New Kingdom Trailriders (NKT) services the greater Quad City area and surrounding communities by empowering individuals with physical, mental, social, or emotional challenges to create active healthier, and more fulfilling lives through equine-assisted activities.

NKT provides a welcoming environment of acceptance and encouragement. Each day our instructors work with individuals through therapeutic equine assisted activities that allow them to become more independent. New Kingdom Trailriders’ program helps riders build physical strength, balance, confidence, self-esteem, social and communication skills, as well as providing an opportunity to build relationships.

NKT also partners with area agencies providing meaningful volunteer opportunities for participants.

NKT welcomes individuals over the age of 14 to volunteer in a variety of roles with our program. These experiences are rewarding and allow volunteers to give back and participate in a welcoming environment as well.
