Mission Statement
Heartland Horses Equine Activities & Learning, Inc. Providing free equine assisted activities to significantly improve the lives of children and adults with mental, physical, or developmental challenges.
Description
Heartland Horses is dedicated to providing equine-assisted activites for special needs individuals in our community, complete free of charge.
Equine-assisted activites provide numerous therapeutic benefits for special needs individuals. In association with other therapies, these activites enhance cognitive, perceptual and motor skills through an integrative and goal oriented approach. While riding or interacting with our horses, individuals with limited mobility experience independent movement, non-verbal or autistic individuals find their voices and participants find themselves focusing on what they can do rather than what they cannot do.
