Our Story

Park Horse Project is the dream of family and friends who have a deep passion for horses and serving people with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Parkinson's Disease to improve quality of life for both.  We have seen firsthand how traditional treatments fall short and leave our loved ones feeling isolated and hopeless.  Our team shares a vision of hope and unwavering determination.  With Equine-assisted therapy, a form of therapy that uses horses to facilitate physical and emotional growth in individuals with a wide range of disabilities, we are excited by the possibilities and the potential to improve the lives of so many. 

We've set out to create a program that will challenge traditional equine therapy methods and provide fact-based results.   At Park Horse Project, we are building a state-of-the-art and sustainable facility, complete with stables, an arena, and a sensory trail. Our vision of sustainability includes on-site water wells and features, compositing, relaxing and sensory rich walking paths and sitting areas. We research the latest scientific findings and consult with experts in the field to create a program that is both effective and sustainable. We've enlisted the help of experienced PATH International certified trainers and equine experts to develop a program tailored specifically to the needs of individuals with Autism Spectrum disorder and Parkinson's disease. We've integrated the latest proven methodologies with our own expertise in Equine-assisted therapy and will be conducting our own research to ensure the efficacy of our program.  

It is our hope and dream that our program becomes a beacon of hope for those struggling with these ailments. We will forever continue to refine and expand our program, incorporating new modalities as alternative treatments.  As we continue our research, we will share our findings with others in the field, and inspire others to incorporate and build on these methodologies.  Through our dream and love of horses to help those in need, we wish to leave a lasting legacy that will continue to improve the lives of millions throughout the world.

Sincerely, 

Founders and Staff of Park Horse Project
