Why Horses?
Horses are remarkable animals that provide dynamic, rhythmical movements similar to the human walk, making them ideal for therapeutic purposes. Beyond their physical benefits, horses have a natural ability to foster emotional connections and help individuals build trust, patience, and empathy. Their honest, immediate feedback allows riders to develop essential life skills in a safe, supportive environment.
OUR HORSES: TRUSTED PARTNERS IN THERAPEUTIC HEALING AND GROWTH
Our herd is made up of a diverse group of horses, each with their own story and personality. These incredible animals are specially trained to work with individuals of all abilities, providing comfort, support, and guidance during therapeutic sessions. Meet some of the amazing horses that make our programs possible:
How You Can Help
Our horses are an essential part of Discovery Riders, and their care is our top priority. You can support our herd by sponsoring a horse, donating to help with their upkeep, or volunteering to assist with their daily care. Your contributions directly impact the lives of these incredible animals and ensure they can continue helping others.
SPONSOR A HORSE
By sponsoring a horse, you provide essential care such as feed, bedding, and veterinary services. Sponsorships help cover the monthly costs of maintaining our horses, allowing them to focus on what they do best—supporting our riders. Your sponsorship also allows you to develop a special bond with one of our horses, with opportunities to visit and learn more about their role in our programs.
DONATE A HORSE
Have a horse that might be a good fit for our program? We welcome inquiries about horse donations. Each horse goes through a careful assessment process to ensure they are the right fit for equine-assisted activities. Donating your horse is a wonderful way to ensure they have a fulfilling, impactful role in the lives of others.
