All funds raised will go directly to our program participants. 4STEPS provides low cost and scholarship therapeutic riding services to our special needs community. Through sensory integration and motor skill motivation on horseback we are able to help individuals enhance their dynamic posture, muscle tone, socialization, mobility, cognitive abilities, and an overall improved quality of life. We have witnessed the joy and healing that our horses bring to our participants. It truly is a wonderful program.

4STEPS inclusiveness has meant reaching out to minorities, rural communities, families with children with special needs, those in group homes and residential communities -- to anyone who may be out of the mainstream. Volunteers will tell you that working with exceptional participants, who courageously face ongoing physical, emotional, social and/or cognitive challenges enriches their own lives. Horse Power program develops youth to be respectful and comfortable working alongside peers with differences and diverse abilities and teaches to appreciate them as valuable, vital community members. In turn, youth with special needs develop leadership skills and build authentic community connections while developing their horsemanship skills. It's a WIN-WIN!

SO COME ON OUT AND SUPPORT THIS AMAZING PROGRAM AND HELP US TO KEEP REACHING OUT TO OUR COMMUNITY!!
