Horses
All of our equine partners are specifically trained to do the wonderful work we do in our equine programs. It takes a special horse to be able to partner with our therapists to participate in Therapeutic Riding and Occupational/Physical Therapy Utilizing Equine Movement. Our BINA horses and all other animals are treated with respect and receive outstanding care from our staff, trained volunteers and veterinarians. We are especially grateful to those BINA donors who sponsor our horses. Without their generous support we would not have the wonderful animals needed to help all of our students in their therapeutic and recreational activities.
If you have a horse you think would be a good fit for our program, please email info@binafarm.org with the horse's name, age, gender, height, breed, and any other relevant details.
Our horses are working extra hard this year! Click here to support our horses.
