“Freedom Hooves has really been such a huge part of healing, not only for me but also for my family. After suffering a traumatic brain injury from a car accident and being disabled for several years, I felt overwhelmed by the hardship and changes my family had to go through due to my injury; I was dealing with physical injuries and mental health issues- depression, PTSD, and anxiety. Freedom Hooves gave us the space to heal in so many ways. Not only did we get the opportunity to build a bond with horses, which became very therapeutic, but we learned how to ride, work as a team, and strengthen our family bond by trusting each other, the instructors/volunteers, the horses, and ourselves.”

“Freedom Hooves has been essential in enabling my daughter to heal from major losses. Her self-confidence and character have greatly improved.”

“Freedom Hooves gives me a reason to get out of bed. I have Multiple Sclerosis and suffer severe fatigue. Depression was my constant companion until I found Freedom Hooves. Riding horses has given me something to look forward too. The horses are patient and gentle. Petting them makes me feel more relaxed and calms my soul. While I am riding, I can feel my back and hip alignment straighten out. After I complete the ride, I have more feeling in my legs and I am able to walk better. I stumble less and my balance is a lot better. Falling less often increases my confidence, which in turn, reduces my depression. I can’t say enough about how wonderful the people who make Freedom Hooves work are."
