Pony Power connects people with disabilities or life challenges to the wonders of horses, farming and nature.

We envision a community where horses, farming and nature are accessible to all.

“Pony power is such a magical place. From the kindness of the instructors and volunteers, to the patience, creativity, and warmth shared with students.”

— Ashley, participant parent

Nature transforms.

We view disabilities and life challenges through the broadest possible lens. Pony Power offers several types of horse-assisted services to those who need more support or different activity options than traditional equestrian centers provide. We also offer garden- and nature-based programs.

Our participants include children and adults with autism spectrum disorder, cerebral palsy, developmental delays, visual impairments and traumatic brain injuries, as well as those experiencing learning differences, mental health diagnoses, trauma, loss, and life-limiting or life-threatening diseases.

There is a place for everyone at Pony Power.
