Connect with Friends Youth Outdoors Horsebuds, Inc

HorseBuds, Inc. is a 501(c)3 non-profit that promotes independence through equine assisted activities for the purpose of contributing positively to the mental, cognitive, physical and social well being of children and adults with special needs and their families. They are inclusive for all abilities. In this Equine Facilitated Learning program, participants explore horsemanship, risk-taking, teamwork, and the concepts of establishing trust and respect between animals and people. Fear can be conquered through knowledge and preparation while learning about the emotional and physical needs of animals. Life’s challenges take on new perspectives as the focus is with the animal and the participant relationship.
