Welcome

Founded under the clear blue skies of Nebraska through the vision and efforts of
Kathy Gatch
Equine-Assisted Therapy
"I've often said, there's nothing better for the inside of a man than the outside of a horse."
(Ronald Reagan)
Our Mission is to provide to young individuals, the opportunity to experience the healing power of the human/horse bond. Our program combines instruction in traditional horsemanship skills with concepts of physical, occupational, speech, and behavior therapies in a controlled setting.
Our riders develop and practice social skills, abstract learning, better self-awareness, improved functional mobility, posture and balance.
Riding has been proven effective as a recreational therapy in the treatment of:
Cerebral Palsy, Autism, Spina Bifida, Deafness, Blindness, Multiple Sclerosis, Learning Disabilities, Developmental Delays, Down Syndrome, Muscular Dystrophy, Emotional Dysregulation, Paraplegics, Amputees, and so much more!

Spring Riding will begin the week of February 17th!
