Equine-assisted services are a solution.

There are approximately 1,500+ organizations worldwide that incorporate horses into mental health and wellness services. Most are small, local, and deeply connected to their communities. These organizations are a vital part of the solution to the growing mental health crisis.

Advancing the Power of Horses to Heal Lives.

Horses for Mental Health strengthens and amplifies equine-assisted programs that bring healing to people and purpose to horses. Through global campaigns, funding opportunities, expert collaboration, and business development support, we help local organizations grow and thrive.

Together, we’re building a movement that champions horses as powerful partners in healing, expanding access to the care and connection the world needs.

Why Horses?

Healing happens in partnership. By caring for both people and horses, we honor a unique connection that fosters trust, reflection, and lasting growth for individuals, communities, and the horses themselves.

OUR

Impact

When we come together around what connects us, healing becomes possible.

The truth is, 100% of us are affected by mental health, personally or through someone we love. By uniting through the power of horses, we’re helping more people find hope, purpose, and healing each year.
