Horses
All of our equine partners are specifically trained to work in our equine-assisted programming. It takes a special horse to be able to partner with our therapists, to participate in our Therapeutic Riding and Occupational/Physical Therapy Utilizing Equine Movement programs.
Our BINA horses and all other animals are treated with respect and receive outstanding care from our staff, trained volunteers and veterinarians. We are grateful to BINA donors who sponsor our horses- without their generous support we would not have the 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.
