Hearts and Hooves Full Sponsor

Hearts and Hooves Full Horse Sponsor

The human-animal bond is a special relationship, providing a sense of unwavering acceptance and motivating riders to try new skills.

At Sunrise, we witness children saying their first words, teens proudly planning and executing multi-step directions, and adults gaining greater flexibility, core strength and posture. For every rider, there is a multitude of physical, emotional, social and cognitive benefits that result from their weekly therapeutic riding lesson.

It's therapy…and it's fun!
