Our Horses

Horses that heal are at the heart of the program at Three Gaits. Our horses have exceptional dispositions. The gentle, responsive nature of the horse provides individuals with special needs with wonderful opportunities to develop skills and self-esteem, and enjoy an active recreational activity.

The cost of caring for and keeping our horses far exceeds what we charge for program fees.

Sponsorships help us bridge this gap and provide routine veterinary care, proactive training, exercise riders, and maintenance support as needed to keep our horses fit and healthy.

Sponsorships also allow us to hire caring, capable, stable hands and provide quality hay and feed.

We believe when you put the horse first, everyone will be successful, and sponsorships allow us to do just that!

To learn more about how you can sponsor a Three Gaits program horse and help support our programs, email our Executive Director at jolie@three-gaits.org
