This includes feeding, grooming, and stall cleaning. Volunteers pick one or more days of the week to participate and once trained generally takes 1 to 2 hours to complete. Horse experience perferred byut not neccessary, we will train you.

Mission Statement
To help children and adults with special needs heal mind, body, and spirit through equine assisted activities.
Description
Our horses are helping our students reach goals they never imagined. People with autism and Down syndrome have said their first words. Adults with multiple sclerosis and children with neurological disorders have improved balance and gained strength after riding. Some have even taken their first steps. Children from the city and high school students with emotional issues have gained confidence and become inspired to learn. Wounded military veterans and seniors with memory deficits have found comfort and hope from our horses. Discover how our horses can help you or someone you care about.
