Please visit the new page to apply.
At In Step With Horses we provide a safe place to rebalance mental health through a connection with animals and nature. One way we accomplish this is through Therapeutic Horsemanship. Therapeutic horsemanship is riding lessons where each rider has a specific goal(s) for their mental or behavioral health.
One way we need the most help is by being a horse leader. A horse leader will lead horses in a lesson for a beginner rider. Always under the supervision of the instructor!
Even if you have never touched a horse before but might be interested please inquire! We run trainings twice a month and would be happy to have you out!

Description
In Step With Horses supports positive mental health for adolescents and adults by connecting them to licensed mental health professionals, animals and nature.
