We have grown significantly over the years, we now have 28 wonderful therapy horses, 16 PATH, Intl. certified instructors, 10 licensed occupational, physical, and mental health therapists, and over 150 participants. We also offer services in Adaptive Riding (formerly know as Therapeutic Riding), Therapy Services – specializing in Hippotherapy, Equine Services for Veterans, Adaptive Carriage Driving, Equine-Assisted Learning, Equine-Assisted Mental Health Sessions, and Life Skills Training.
