Breaking down barriers
Our Mission is to bring equine assisted interventions focused on healing, self-awareness, and curiosity through the horse and human bond.
We help break down barriers to provide equine assisted interventions to diverse and underserved populations.
| Barrier | Solution |
| Horses cost a lot of money | We provide our Mini Horse Outreach and TEA program at no cost through grants and donations. |
| Horses are typically out in the country or rural environments. I don’t have a way to get there. | Our Mini Horse Outreach are mobile and can come inside to each facility to meet people where they are at. |
| Horses cannot be potty trained, therefore, they can’t come inside. | Our mini horses are reliably potty trained and meet or exceed all Pet Partners therapy horse requirements, making indoor visits an option. |
| I am afraid of horses, will the horses sense my fear? | Our horses have been trained to work with populations that may be apprehensive or fearful. We train the horses to attune to the handlers or equine helper to regulate which in turn helps put the unsure individual at ease. |
| Horses are unpredictable | We do understand our horses may come into contact with environments that could be challenging. Our horses are trained to co-regulate off of their handlers or equine helpers. Our handlers and equine helpers know each of the horses needs and how to best advocate for them. |
