Mission Statement

The "Horses for the Handicapped" program provides recreational horse riding opportunities for children and adults with disabilities, resulting in therapeutic benefits of balance, strength, coordination and language development.  We afford families and individuals with numerous networking opportunities in a social setting; to increase abilities, self esteem, and camaraderie through participation in Challenge shows, Special Olympics and other riding events.

Our organization, founded in 1986, abides by the strict safety and instructional guidelines set by the North American Riding for Handicapped Association and is certified and accredited through them.
