We could not do what we do without the amazing hard work and support of our volunteers. We need sidewalkers, leaders, groomers...there is something for everyone to do! If you love horses, being outside, and working hard with a great team to bring miracles to life for some amazing participants, then we'd love to have you join us. Be blessed and be a blessing.

Mission Statement
Our Faith enables us to nurture abilities in individuals with special needs. Equine Dreams is a 501c3 Equine Assisted Activity program dedicated to providing therapeutic sessions to children and adults with physical, cognitive, and social disabilities at no charge. Originally founded in 1996 by The Mason Family, who were inspired by their son Andrew who has Angelman Syndrome, Equine Dreams evolved from a pilot program to becoming a Premier Accredited Center by the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International (PATH, Intl,). Equine Dreams is unique because we deliver services free of charge to the individuals we serve. Our vision is for all children and adults living with special needs to have a place to experience life-long learning in order to foster independence, regardless of ability and income.
