  • Mission

    Children of Promise Stable, Inc., is a Not-For-Profit 501 (C)(3) tax-exempt corporation, that provides professional equine assisted activities and therapies (EAAT) for both children and adults with special needs through a diversified equestrian riding program. Founded in 2001, we are a first-class facility designed to foster positive emotional growth, independence and improve the physical and social well being of our clients.

    About Us

    We want to enrich lives of special needs individuals by promoting excellence in equine assisted activities. Our focus is on providing an equine program designed for each individual’s educational, physical, social and recreational goals. We look to encourage an "I can do it" attitude for those who have been previously limited in their abilities.

    Riding horses is a physical activity that can offer many therapeutic benefits. Many riders experience a connection to the horse that few sports can create. For those riders who can not walk, the horse is their vehicle of transport. Horseback riding gently and rhythmically moves the rider’s body in a manner similar to human movement patterns of the pelvis while walking.

    The rhythmic motion of the horse acts as a powerful tool to improve documented benefits of strength, flexibility and balance. Riding also brings mental rewards and improves cognitive abilities.
