Welcome to Great Oak
“My adult son rides weekly and his time at Great Oak with the horses and staff is the 30 minutes that he talks about all week. His critical thinking and ability to follow directions has improved. His physical strength, coordination and balance have been greatly positively impacted. Great Oak Equine Assisted Programs has been a game changer!”
