Remarkable Results
Each week 95 participants from around the Kansas City area attend HTR to experience the benefits of interacting with horses and achieve goals they once only dreamed about attaining. Equine Assisted Activities and Therapies (EAAT) provide a sense of freedom and mobility to our participants that is rarely experienced elsewhere in their lives. The horses introduce our participants to a new world, a world that’s full possibilities and hope!
Our participants live with physical, emotional and/or intellectual challenges. Some disabilities are clear and evident to but some are not. Participants make physical and emotional strides during their lessons that are taught by instructors who are focused on what they can accomplish, not on their limitations. Group lessons are held weekly with a supportive group of volunteers to ensure safety and encourage team building.
The results are remarkable!
Who we serve:
Heartland serves individuals who have been diagnosed with physical, emotional and/or cognitive disabilities. Each individual is evaluated before being accepted into a program and must have a physician’s written permission to participate. Heartland does not discriminate as to sex, creed, color, or ability to pay.
