At Great Oak Equine Assisted Programs, your generosity supports meaningful, equine-assisted experiences for individuals with disabilities through the power of the horse–human connection. Our programming is built on trust, consistency, and relationship—helping participants develop strength, confidence, independence, and emotional well-being both in and out of the arena. From the care of our horses to adaptive equipment, trained staff, and accessible programming, your support sustains a welcoming, inclusive environment where learning and growth unfold over time. Your gift makes unbridled growth possible.
