We’re Currently Seeking Healthy Horses to Join Our Vibrant Program

At Green Chimneys students with special needs learn to ride, care for and connect with horses as part of a comprehensive treatment plan and nature-based education experience. And as a PATH International Premier Accredited Center, we are committed to providing quality equine-assisted educational programs.

To safely and successfully join the team, each horse must be:

free of any major medical issues

under 20 years old

sound at walk, trot, and canter

Horse candidates must be reasonably quiet, suitable for children and comfortable in a very stimulating environment. Our horses typically work about 10 hours a week in a combination of English riding lessons, trail rides, and groundwork activities. We are in need of both stocky ponies and larger horses capable of carrying adult riders. Horses with a background in driving will also be a great addition to our team.

Applications are now being accepted for horse donations. Lease agreements will also be considered.

Get the process started by sharing basic information below about your horse, and we’ll follow up with you!

Gyrfalcon

Crowned the best for falconry in medieval times, gyrfalcons were once reserved for kings. As the largest falcon in the world, with exquisite plumage ranging from bright white to deep charcoal, gyrs are revered for their powerful skill of flight. Their long wings make hunting waterfowl from 3,000-feet-high a feasible and fantastical feat. This falcon was flown in the sport of falconry for several years.
