Meet the Team

Our team is dedicated and passionate about the work we do to enhance lives. We come from many backgrounds – personally and professionally – but we share a deep love for our horses and making a difference in the world. Our horses were born for this role. It takes a special animal to do this work and we know how to identify the right horse for our programs – each and every time.
