Meet Our Horses
Our horses are the foundation team members of Envision programs.
Envision horses are specially chosen for their temperament, life experiences, soundness, conformation and movement as well as their desire and ability to be a dependable partner in their interactions with clients. Each horse receives extensive training to prepare them for their role in equine assisted therapeutic activities. Our trained volunteers know how to best assist and care for the horses so they can thrive in their roles as therapeutic partners. We are always looking for good and dependable horses for our programs.
