Our Mission/How we are involved with horses:
AWH's mission is to: Maximize potential of disabled/disadvantaged/special-needs children providing developmental therapy, education and recreation through horses and related experiences, with measurable improvement physically, mentally, socially and/or emotionally resulting in increased self-sufficiency and the ability to lead better and more independent and productive lives.

Through vaulting (gymnastics on a moving horse), even severely disabled children learn and achieve. A therapy horse is the key element in our program because it demands, facilitates and rewards desired changes (outcomes/adaptive responses) in the children.Horses are the most critical asset to the following outcomes: Disabled/disadvantaged/special-needs children have improved physically, mentally, socially and/or emotionally, enabling them to lead more independent, productive and better lives.

Our organization conducts Equine Assisted Services (EAS) in accordance with the EQUUS Foundation Guidelines on Qualifications of Organizations Conducting Equine-Assisted Services (EAS).
