Our mission extends beyond rescue to transformative therapy, where we connect individuals, families, and corporate groups with our animals through tailored therapy sessions and developmental workshops. These programs are designed to improve mental health, enhance interpersonal skills, and build resilience among participants. By integrating the Eagala Model—a distinct, highly structured, and evidence-based approach to equine-assisted psychotherapy and personal development—and other proven therapeutic approaches such as Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT), we offer a unique pathway to healing. Our programs are underscored by a commitment to ethical and compassionate care.
Helping Hands Horse Rescue and Equine Therapy is a 501C3 Non-profit organization. Everything we are able to do is powered by donations and volunteerism, so your donation is GREATLY appreciated!
Donations help us take care of all the therapy animals, and be able to provide equine therapy to those in need, at no charge. Thus, donations help us as our mission statement states, to utilize the healing abilities of animals to help people rise to their full potential.
