Donating A Horse
Basic characteristics necessary for a therapy horse:
Sound at the walk and trot, with balanced gaits as the horses’ movement is the chief benefit to our participants’ therapy.
The horse must currently be in work, we do not take horses out of retirement.
The horse should be obedient to both voice and leg aids.
The horse must trot in hand both while mounted and unmounted.
Horses must be comfortable with people in “their space” while in work, accepting of people walking or jogging next to them.
The horse must be comfortable with balls, rings and other toys being tossed overhead and around them.
Horses we accept into our program are usually between 8-18 years of age, over 13 hh and under 16.2 hh.
We rarely make exceptions to these guidelines
Horses in our program have multiple stabling options available: Including large heavily bedded stalls, the opportunity to live out 24/7 with sheds, stalls with in/out. Horses in our program also have: Individual diets and supplements, unlimited hay, receive routine and specialized veterinary and farrier care, routine dental care, routine myofacial work, routine saddle fitting, scheduled days off, individual or group turn-out, receive scheduled exercise with professional trainers, and especially, get lots of tender love and care.
