This short video offers a moving look into our Parkinson’s program—but it’s also so much more. It’s a glimpse into the heart of High Hopes: where people and horses come together to build strength, confidence, and connection. Whether it’s through therapeutic riding, unmounted activities, or simply sharing space with a horse, every moment at High Hopes is designed to improve lives and foster a sense of community.

It Takes All Of Us

The Work Continues

Last year, we served on average 72 participants each week. Thanks to the growth of our herd and the dedication of our team, that number has grown significantly — now reaching 106 participants each week across riding, unmounted, and specialty programs.
This growth isn’t about filling spots; it’s about meeting real needs. Every new horse and every additional session means more individuals gaining confidence, connection, and joy through the power of horses.
But a bigger herd means bigger costs: hay and feed, veterinary care, training, and more. Each horse brings hope to more people and it’s only possible with your continued support.

Programs for those who serve

Calling Veterans

For many individuals who have served in our military, the ability to remain relaxed in the present moment and make important connections with other people is more difficult than most of the general public. Often, this is a by-product of PTSD, or post-traumatic stress disorder.

Additionally, when serving in the military, there is a demand for all individuals to be acutely aware of their surroundings at all times due to the perilous conditions faced each day. For many who have served, this hyper-vigilant state does not subside when returning to re-integrate into society. Making connections with civilians is challenging often resulting in a sense of isolation even when returning to home, friends and family.
