"There's something about the outside of a horse

that's good for the inside of a man."

Winston Churchill

Horse Therapy

Horses providing Hope & Healing (HHH) offers equine assisted therapy programs for cancer survivors, at-risk youth and individuals coping with the emotional challenges of life.

Our primary focus is the development of effective equine activities to provide unique opportunities for growth and change in a safe and supervised environment. We seek to open hearts and minds to help clients move forward to live healthy productive lives.

Use the wisdom of a horse on your healing journey. The unique relationships formed with the horse can develop attributes such as, insight, confidence, self-esteem, inner peace, assertiveness, independence, responsibility and creative thinking. Feelings of acceptance, connectedness and calmness are found through activities with the horses, which benefits not just the participant, but also the extended family.

HHH programs have been featured in USA Today, Smart Woman, Ivanhoe Broadcast News, Multiplicity Media Productions and der Spiegel German news magazine.
