Mission Statement
Horse Power for Life is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization (EIN #26-0812311) in Chester County, whose mission is to improve the physical and emotional quality of life for individuals affected by cancer by providing a 16 week educational and recreational horsemanship program. Our goal is to help families living with cancer focus on their minds, bodies, and souls, rather than the disease while learning about horses in an atmosphere of professionalism, teamwork, and fun.
Description
The core of our program is a 16 week course, made up of weekly 90 minute sessions which provide professional horsemanship instruction for men, women, and children. Led by certified therapeutic instructor, Barbara Rosoff, the program guides students through all aspects of horse care, from basic grooming to leading horses, to riding.
We believe that it is essential for a family member of cancer patients/survivors to be invited to participate in our program since the effects of cancer diagnoses can reach beyond the individual with the disease. In addition, we are committed to providing our program at a very low cost to participants in order to involve families from all backgrounds.
