HorseSense is dedicated to enriching the lives of youth, adults and Veterans with disabilities through a partnership with the horse. The organization strives to improve the bodies, minds and spirits of riders by providing weekly therapeutic horseback riding lessons that:
● Improve physical health
● Provide a sense of accomplishment and control
● Create a positive environment for learning
● Emphasize the capabilities of each rider
In a program tailored to those who’ve served our country, the nonprofit’s HorseSense for Heroes Veterans Program accommodates the special rehabilitative needs of military Veterans who are recovering from injuries sustained in service to their nation.
Demand for therapeutic horseback riding lessons at HorseSense has skyrocketed in recent years. The organization experienced a 54% increase in ridership last year and the program has grown by
a stunning 184% since 2018.
