SPIRIT Open Equestrian Program is dedicated to healing the body, mind and spirit, and providing activities where we educate the participant on life skills.

We promote awareness, by utilizing the interaction between humans and horses – on the ground or in the saddle.  Our participants can apply these skills in their lives, beyond the barn.

At SPIRIT, we use horsemanship and Equine Assisted Activities to reach therapeutic goals for a wide range of disorders, to improve basic self esteem and to teach about communication, trust, responsibility, partnership, and empathy.

We are a nationally recognized, fast growing 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

What People are Saying

SPIRIT is more than just a program, it has become a way of life. SPIRIT has shown this community the kind of effect that animals can have on people——whether they have special needs or just need to feel special…

My daughter Lia is 11 years old and has been challenged since infancy with eyesight problems, struggles with fine/gross motor skills and sensory perception. She has distinct muscle weakness…

As a mother of a child with motor delays, I can’t say enough about the wonderful SPIRIT Equestrian program…

The part of the lesson I look forward to the most is trotting as well as trail rides. The
program has made my muscles stronger. More importantly, it’s helped with my confidence,
making me realize I can do anything. SPIRIT means so more to me than anyone will ever know...

Our impact this year has changed our community!
