Step by step / Animals R US Therapeutic riding program

Purpose

The purpose of the Step by Step Program is to aide in rehabilitating adults and children using rescued horses that are trained specifically for the cause.  The need could be physical, emotional or educational.

The program also offers for the community to volunteer with the program, whether it be part of a church, an organization or seeking credits in agriculture or social work.


The program provides a personal touch……. for your special occasion at homes, nursing homes, daycares, churches or places of business we provide a mobile Petting Zoo.


We are Non-Profit……………all donations pay for the care of the grounds, animals, feed, hay, Veterinarians, shoes for the horses, utilities, and every day maintenance.
