The Right Step, Inc., an adaptive riding and horsemanship nonprofit organization serving children and adults with physical, cognitive, emotional, and developmental disabilities and other special populations, is excited to announce a major milestone in its growth: the relocation to a newly constructed home on the grounds of the Denver Polo Club at 6359 Airport Rd, Sedalia, CO.
Construction is slated to begin mid-December, with an anticipated move-in date of mid-April, marking a significant expansion of the organization’s capacity and impact.
A Purpose-Built Facility Designed for Mission Impact
The new site includes:
- A 20-stall barn dedicated to The Right Step’s beloved herd of working horses
- Both indoor and outdoor arenas for year-round programming
- Turnout pens that allow for improved horse care and scheduling flexibility
- ADA-compliant access to office, viewing, and program areas
- Significantly expanded space to accommodate lessons, volunteers, and community programs
This move will allow The Right Step to serve more participants, including individuals on its 280+ person waitlist, and offer a safer, more accessible, and more comfortable environment for clients, families, volunteers, and supporters.
A Major Leap Forward for the Community
“It will be wonderful to have our program be a part of the vibrant horse community being built on the Denver Polo Club property. Polo, hunter/jumpers, dressage, and adaptive riding all come together and support each other for the love of the horse,” said Christine Remy, Executive Director of The Right Step, Inc. “This new home gives us room to grow, innovate, and meet a level of community demand we’ve never been able to meet before. It’s a transformative time for our organization. I am thrilled we’ll have the opportunity to move people off our waitlist and allow them to experience the immeasurable power of horses!
Fundraising Underway to Support the Transition
While the new facility is being constructed at the Denver Polo Club, The Right Step, Inc. launched a fundraising campaign with a goal of $150,000 for the equipment, furnishings, and operational infrastructure needed to run and maintain its own barn for the first time.
This includes:
- Barn and arena care equipment and vehicles
- Barn furnishing and enhancements
- Arena enhancements
- Accessible program equipment
- Office communications system and furnishings
- Volunteer and client support space furnishings and equipment
Everyone is invited to contribute to this once-in-a-generation transition!
