ABOUT US
Galloping Towards Growth and Healing
Between Horses and Humans is a nonprofit equine program dedicated to helping youth through transformative connections with horses. We provide a safe, supportive environment where children facing life challenges can build confidence, resilience, and leadership skills.
Through hands-on experiences, our students develop self-awareness, trust, and responsibility, learning valuable life lessons from their interactions with these powerful animals.
Our program is about growth, healing, and empowerment.

With the support of dedicated instructors and volunteers, we create special experiences that create courage, compassion, and confidence, ensuring every child leaves with a renewed sense of purpose and possibility.
