Welcome to New Heights Therapy
Experience the Healing Power of the Horse
New Heights Therapeutic Riding Center is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization founded in 1998. We are a the only PATH premier therapeutic equestrian center in the state of Louisiana. We are dedicated to positively impacting lives through our life changing equine therapy. We help people who have physical, cognitive, and emotional difficulties reach their full potential. We serve a wide variety of groups and individuals in our community and beyond.
Our facility is located on eight beautiful acres adjacent to Summergrove Polo Farms in Folsom, Louisiana. We also have access to 22 acres of wooded riding trails across from our property for our riders to enjoy. We have a fully handicap accessible facility with a covered arena and a 16 stall barn. Our arena is equipped with a wheelchair accessible ramp and a lift, courtesy of SureHands Lift & Care, which can hold up to 400 pounds to assist wheelchair bound clients to mount their horse.
We operate with the help of our community, volunteers, and generous donors who support our mission every day.
We invite you to schedule a tour of our facility and get involved!

Oscar J. Tolmas Charitable Trust
Oscar J. Tolmas was a lifelong resident of New Orleans, a Veteran of WWII, and an attorney and real estate developer. Horse racing was a passion of Tolmas. In his last will and testament, he formed the Oscar J. Tolmas Charitable Trust to help charitable organizations fulfill their missions. His legacy and generosity will live on in the hearts of many.
New Heights gratefully acknowledges the enormous support of the Oscar J. Tolmas Foundation whose continued support has propelled our mission and enabled so many Veterans, adults, and children with cognitive, physical, and emotional challenges to experience the healing power of the horse.
