Helping Hands horses are all carefully selected and trained as therapeutic riding horses, based on temperament, type of movement, and attitude. Each horse goes through a trial period before being accepted into our program. HHTRC has 12 horses in their herd.
Each horse is available for sponsorship through our Equine Care program. By adopting a horse, you will become a member of our 14 Carrot Club.
