New Season - New Horses!
​
In addition to our trusty horse friend Drifter, CS will be adding three new horses to our program this year. Several will be for mounted instruction and all for groundwork and restorative. See their photos and bios under the About Us/Herd tab. They continue to work hard despite this frigid weather and are continuing to build a foundation for all our students new and returning.

​Our mission is to provide equine-assisted therapeutic riding programs to individuals with physical and emotional challenges in order to promote healing, health and happiness through the use of the horse.

"there is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man"

Therapeutic horseback riding is an equine-assisted activity that emphasizes the strong bond between horse and human and contributes positively to the cognitive, physical, emotional and social well-being of individuals with physical and emotional challenges.
