  • I saw a child who couldn't walk, sit on a horse, laugh and talk... I saw a child who could only crawl, mount a horse and sit up tall. I saw a child born into strife, take up and hold the reins of life. And that same child was heard to say, Thank God for showing me the way.

  • Sit tall in the saddle, Hold your head up high.  Keep your eyes fixed where the trail meets the sky.  And live like you ain't afraid to die.  And don't be scared, just enjoy your ride.

Testimonials

  • "Hippotherapy has improved my child’s balance. After hippotherapy her muscles are more relaxed. The hippotherapy has given her much more confidence. She was afraid of animals when she started and now loves horses as well as interacting with other animals."

  • "What is different and so impressive about hippotherapy is its uniqueness. Our daughter does not show pictures of her other therapies or laugh and talk about them. Hippotherapy gives our daughter a unique experience to be proud of. It is the most important and beneficial therapy of the week."

  • "The world outside one's own home can be a cruel reminder that the disabled continue to have a hard time fitting in. Hippotherapy is more effective than traditional therapies because horses have a unique ability to motivate children to try new things."
