Since 1989, HorseSense has been dedicated to enriching the lives of youth, adults and Veterans with disabilities through a partnership with the horse. We strive to improve the bodies, minds and spirits of riders by providing weekly therapeutic horseback riding lessons that:
- Improve physical health
- Provide a sense of accomplishment and control
- Create a positive environment for learning
- Emphasize the capabilities of each rider
In a program tailored to those who’ve served, the nonprofit’s HorseSense for Heroes program accommodates the special rehabilitative needs of military Veterans who are recovering from injuries sustained in service to their nation.
Demand for therapeutic horseback riding has grown exponentially in recent years. HorseSense is working hard to meet this demand, but community support is vital.
HorseSense would not exist without the generosity of our community. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so very much for keeping our program going. We can’t say enough how truly grateful we are!
“The horses have never minded if Erik told stories that were hard to understand. They don’t mind if his speech is delayed or his balance is off. The horses understand him better than most humans. To see him riding independently, mastering the two-point and trotting is nothing short of a miracle.”
-Marlis O’Brien, Erik’s Mom
