Seeking Horses for Therapeutic Riding Program

From Intern to Mentor: The Journey of an HAI Professional

September 20, 2022

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!

Brownie

With the completion of an elaborate new habitat built by Green Chimneys’ woodshop students, the Farm Science classroom was able to welcome Brownie into her new home. Brownie previously lived alone in her cage in the farm and wildlife office, but guinea pigs do best in larger environments. The new habitat allows her to live in a herd as she would in the wild, with many places to hide and ways to practice her skills. Brownie has always been a social creature, and she has taken over the guinea pig herd but is a very peaceful leader.
