About
About High Hopes
At High Hopes, we believe in the extraordinary power of the horse-human connection. Since our founding in 1974, we’ve been dedicated to providing equine-assisted services that foster growth, confidence, and community for people of all ages and abilities.
As one of the largest and most respected therapeutic riding centers in the country, High Hopes is a place where horses change lives. From therapeutic riding and carriage driving, to unmounted horsemanship and wellness programs, every interaction in the barn or arena is carefully designed to build strength, independence, and joy.
But High Hopes is about more than programs—it’s about people and relationships. Each year, hundreds of participants, families, and volunteers come together here, supported by a herd of specially trained horses, a team of credentialed professionals, and a community of generous donors who make it all possible.
The impact is profound: participants find confidence in and out of the saddle, caregivers find respite in our supportive environment, volunteers discover purpose, and horses share their quiet wisdom with everyone who steps into the barn.
At its heart, High Hopes is a community where everyone is celebrated, inclusion is embraced, and hope grows strong.
