What we aim to solve
Our organization is committed to providing caring and professional Equine Assisted Activities and Therapies (EAAT) to all individuals. Our programs take place at our beautiful and tranquil 200 year old farm. This unique environment on a hilltop overlooking the city provides the setting for individuals to work with our therapeutic horses. Individuals with physical, developmental and/or emotional special needs find a supportive outlet for growth.
