Our Purpose

Our purpose is to provide therapeutic riding and equine assisted activities to people of all ages living with disabilities in central New Hampshire and beyond.  We treat children and adults with disabilities by providing quality time shared with horses, whether riding or in an 'on the ground' program.  The only paid positions are that of our two certified instructors, providing personalized hands-on teaching to clients, as our board of Directors, Executive Director and all support personnel positions are voluntary. “Working with a horse requires focus---thinking only about that horse, and puts you ‘in the moment.’  This is where time can stand still".
