Where Horses Offer Healing and Growth  

Giving individuals with disabilities the joy of working with horses

The steady rhythm and movement of riding creates natural emotional regulation—where children find their calm, build their strength, and celebrate their growth through the healing power of horses.

Can you help Ava?

Ava is a young child living with a foster family who loves her deeply. With developmental delays and low vision, the world often feels overwhelming. Over time, her foster parents have watched her grow more withdrawn, unsure of herself, and struggling to find joy.

“It hurts to see Ava pull inward,” her foster parent shared. “We love her fiercely and just want her to feel brave, capable, and at peace.”

At The Red Barn, children like Ava experience something extraordinary. Through therapeutic riding, they gain confidence, build strength, and form trusting relationships with instructors, volunteers, and gentle horses who meet them exactly where they are.
