Our Community

Great place for young people with disabilities to learn how to ride and gain fine and gross motor skills
Laura Elliot
Great facility, great people doing amazing work with those of us who are less fortunate
Rhonda Savva
Very professionally run program....lovely people....and the horses are beautiful!
Natalie Jay
This program has benefited her so much. Even years ago, when she barely left the house, and we had to start homeschooling, this was a constant for her. Even then we had days where we had to cancel due to her anxiety. Now to see her go without anxiety, communicate with the volunteers on her own (I've actively tried to step back) and even cope with trotting (previously a lot of movement would cause panic). It is nothing short of amazing.
Great work done by great people
Peter Neal
Excellent initiative
C A T O
Fantastic people and facilities.
Matthew Stone
Being a parent of a special needs child can bring many challenges and at times can be isolating. Tall Timbers give endless benefits to the participants and their families.
