Our Mission: To Assist Individuals with Special Needs in
Reaching their Full Potential through Interaction with Horses |
We are unique in that SpiritHorse is the only center in America that provides all private therapeutic horseback riding services free to people with disabilities, children who are victims of abuse, at-risk-youth, youth after drug-rehab and battered women. We currently serve over 425 children and adults FREE OF CHARGE, more than any center in the world. One hundred-sixty of these children have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.
In five years of operation, we have heard 33 children speak the first word of their lives, helped 28 children walk their first steps, and 26 sit up for the first time.
Please support our cause!
Our most immediate need is raising money to sustain our free programs. You can make a difference by making a donation now through any of our giving programs.
