Horses move us in more ways than you can imagine -- as athletes, teachers, companions and healers!

Did you know . . .
Over 81,000 of America's horses were shipped across our borders to be slaughtered in 2018. Most were young, healthy and had untapped potential.
Of the over 48 million people with disabilities in the US, only 69,000 people are experiencing the benefits of Equine Assisted Activities and Therapies (EAAT) and only 7,900 horses are currently serving people with special needs.
Equine Assisted Activities and Therapies (EAAT) has proven to be an effective alternative and complement to traditional therapy.
Engaging with horses offers boundless opportunities for people to lead happier, healthier and productive lives.
