Equestria® Special Program for Children with Autism

This specific program was established in 2007 to meet the unique needs and challenges that autism can present. Our program has helped countless kids with autism improve their functioning over the past 13 years. Specific benefits of this program and others include:

Horse Care and Education Classes

These are the most important component of our program’s activities. In horse care classes, students participate in all aspects of maintaining these animals’ health. They groom and bathe, feed, tack up, and walk horses. The education classes teach students about the parts, various breeds, and history of horses. This empowers them to participate in our therapeutic horse riding for disabled children safely.
