Our Mission

While being immersed in nature and surrounded by animals, we learn about ourselves and how to build authentic, trusting relationships. Our mission is to support the communication, regulation, motor planning, and sensory needs of nonspeaking autistic individuals in order to build confidence and skills while making meaningful connections with our animals and each other.

Our program offers space to be outdoors, to move however our bodies need us to move. Horses meet us without judgment or expectation, offering a calm presence that allows us to be fully ourselves.

Through this work, we aim to grow a community of families and friends who can provide understanding and companionship for nonspeaking autistics as they continue to find their voices through typing and spelling. Our mission is to support their needs so they can advocate for themselves.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

We believe that every person deserves access to a safe, inclusive space—regardless of how they communicate, move, look, or experience the world.

Our programs are designed for nonspeaking, minimally speaking, and unreliably speaking autistics, and those with high regulation and sensory needs, apraxia, and motor planning differences. We recognize that these individuals often face the greatest barriers to participation, and have been and continue to be highly marginalized.

As we transition to a fee-based model, we remain committed to equitable access for people of every race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation. We recognize that financial and social barriers can limit participation, and we work to expand access by offering scholarships, reduced rates, and opportunities for work exchange or contributions of skills and special interests. Families are welcome to contact us to discuss the options available.
