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.

Horses for Mental Health elevates these organizations by hosting global campaigns, raising awareness, providing funding, convening experts, offering business development resources, and working to champion horses as powerful partners in healing.

Why Horses?

Healing happens in partnership. By caring for both people and horses, we honor a unique connection that fosters safety, reflection, and lasting growth.
