We see ourselves as the bridge between client and horses, working closely with clients to guide them towards their personal goals. Our role is to facilitate safe interaction with horses, and to evaluate our client's progress along the way. We believe in the power of awareness and intention, and gear our services and activities around these principles. Our therapists and instructors have years of experience sharing the joys of horses with special needs riders and vaulters, as well as being lifelong horsewomen.

At Horse Time, we believe horses and humans have unlimited potential for healing and growth. With that in mind, we view our horses as co-therapists, an essential part of our treatment team. They offer our clients a range of shapes, sizes, colors, personalities, ages, and talents - a diversity that we welcome and celebrate.
