Hooves for Harmony, Inc

Our Mission Statement: To help, to heal, to inspire.....Hooves for Harmony is a non-profit 501c3 organization that offers horse therapy to children with special needs. We believe all families in our community should have access to horse therapy and provide it for free to families who cannot afford it. We also focus on nurturing personal development in youth through volunteer service and horsemanship. We provide a safe, supportive environment for riding and promote education about the humane treatment of horses and natural horsemanship.

Riders get to enjoy the magical relationship horses offer, while also interacting with volunteers on a tranquil trial ride through the beautiful O’Hair Park in Novato. Riders grow both socially and show improvements in balance, muscle tone, and behavior. Therapy is free to families who cannot afford it, and always has been. We are a 100% volunteer run organization and run entirely on donations. Nearly all of our volunteers are local teens. We cultivate personal development and leadership skills in local youth by showing them the joy of helping others and making a difference in someone else’s life. Volunteers learn about horsemanship and how to interact with children with special needs.
