Shannon's Fundraiser for Stable Hands

Stable Hand's mission is to teach adaptive horseback riding to empower individuals in our community to overcome physical, mental and emotional challenges. Using carefully selected horses and specially trained volunteers, we offer two programs.

Adaptive horsemanship consists of lessons held in an outdoor facility, providing individuals with disabilities access to Nature and all the benefits of fresh air, sunshine and breezes. Activities include grooming, saddling, leading and warm up activities on the ground as well as mounted riding lessons in small groups. The benefits of adaptive horsemanship are improvements in strength, balance, confidence, communication and social skills.

Horses helping Heroes is a program where military veterans can build strength and confidence while developing horsemanship skills. It is built on the foundation of Veteran peer support and utilizes the camaraderie between Servicemen and women to provide a supportive environment.
