Vision
Our Vision
Impact Horse is a nonprofit organization dedicated to connecting humans and horses. We offer equine-assisted learning opportunities through programs, events, and partnerships within the community and beyond.
Organization Values
Impact Horse exists to share the numerous benefits of equine-assisted learning and miniature horse therapy visits. Our programs aim to make this modality more accessible and available for all.
Impact Horse has a passionate and dedicated team that abides by internal bylaws that are in alignment with both our mission and vision. We aspire to collaborate with the community to grow our reach. Our mini horse mascots named “Toast and Muffin” are available for therapeutic visits to nursing homes, hospitals, hospice care centers, and pediatric care centers. Our board is fully volunteer-powered, and all donations directly support our mobile therapy horse programs.
We can’t make the impact we need without our generous donors and sponsors. Please consider contributing to our mission.
