Grace and Grit: Health and Healing Thru Horse-Human Partnerships

Grace and Grit is an equine-human partnership program like no other. Because horses are inherently honest and mirror their environment, all riders have the opportunity to learn effective horsemanship skills while enhancing socio-emotional skill awareness and development.

Our program sets out to dispel myths surrounding horses that prevent people from enjoying all the benefits that these partnerships offer.

By providing a safe, nurturing environment that also challenges and directs, Grace and Grit: Health and Healing Thru Horse-Human Partnerships provides an opportunity for growth and enrichment for all participants.
