★★★★★Daniel HamiltonWe bring my son here for riding lessons. It has helped him figure out emotional regulation and independence. Awesome staff and great patience for our son.
★★★★★Georgetta BennettHands and Heart is an outstanding facility and has a wonderful staff. The work so well with all riders and go the extra mile making the special needs riders feel so welcome and safe. Best riding facility within 200 miles
★★★★★Kayla RobinsonAmazing experience for my child with special needs. Are you thinking about horse therapy or horse riding for your child with special needs? Then this is the place for you! After one phone call, I knew immediately that we had to sign up. My child loves it. We have just started, but we look forward to when the next session starts again. I feel completely confident that my young child was safe on the horse. The staff us amazing and the facilities are great! Also, there are summer camps available for everyone, not just children with special needs. Will we be back? Yes! Absolutely.
★★★★★Ray AckerSuch a wonderful concept and place. Wish there were more places that offered these kids a break away from the life they endure. My wife enjoys being able to give back some by doing volunteer work here on Saturdays. The smiles that come across the kids faces is one of the most rewarding.
★★★★★Christy DixonI took my six-year-old autistic daughter there, and it exceeded my expectations. All of the volunteers were so kind and patient, the horses were beyond beautiful, gentle and sweet. My daughter had such a good time and after one visit I could tell a boost in her confidence. There are not many programs this we'll run for children with disabilities. I am so grateful for Hands and Hearts for Horses.
