Our Story

Founded in 2016, we provide equine assisted services, including therapeutic horseback riding, to individuals with special needs and veterans with disabilities to lift their spirits and unbridle their potential. Our horses elevate the riders’ perspective, and for some riders, bound to a wheelchair, they see others look up to them for the very first time.

Our Impact

Individuals, young and old, find common ground and connection through the love of horses. While some people come to us feeling depressed by disease or disability, horses accept humans as they are, evoking joy in the moment and growth over time.One’s perspective begins to shift, from defeat to determination and limitation to possibility.
