Benefits of Riding

Therapeutic riding and other safe, purposeful and supervised interaction with horses are medically recognized to benefit children and adults with almost any cognitive, physical and/or emotional disability.

Meet our horses

We are so proud of our equine partners. They allow us to run our programs. Each has their own special personality and abilities. If you are interested in sponsoring a horse we would love to hear from you!
