Helping others to fly hoof by hoof.
- “In riding a horse, we borrow freedom.” Helen Thomas
Wings and Hooves Therapeutic Riding, Inc. aims to enhance the lives of individuals with physical, emotional, and developmental challenges by building confidence through equine-assisted activities and partnerships.
An organization providing therapeutic riding instruction to interested, eligible participants, Wings and Hooves assists in the development of the equine-rider partnership by supporting both the horses and riders during engaging lessons led by certified instructors and assisted by enthusiastic volunteers. We believe in the natural therapeutic value, wisdom, and strength of a horse. It is our experience that horses permit their riders to fly – soaring high above their challenges and alleged limitations.
In order to achieve our mission, we actively:
- Recruit and train passionate volunteers and horses to assist in the development and success of participating riders
- Support all riders, volunteers, and families in the therapeutic riding process to build strong partnerships with their equine counterparts
- Raise funds in order to allow the program to continue to grow and serve our students
