SpiritHorse at Black Fox is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides equine-assisted healthcare through private therapeutic horse riding lessons - free of charge- to special needs children and at-risk teen girls.
Love and acceptance are available here to help encourage our riders to be the best they can be, despite handicaps or perceived limitations.
Empower
Self-worth and self-esteem are powerful tools that come from developing responsibility and developing a good work ethic.
Excel
Understanding, empathy, and the ability to desire and accept change are forerunners to growth. Growth is the stepping stone to maturity and ultimately, success.
Therapeutic Riding
Our Therapeutic Riding program is unlike any other. We assist special needs children in reaching their full potential through interaction with horses, without cost to the families we serve.
Summer Soul-Mates
The H.E.A.R.T. Summer Soul-Mates lasts 8 weeks and focusses on building relationships and developing self-confidence through teamwork and cooperation while working and riding on the farm.
Join Up
Join Up is our 8 week program that teaches our girls basic horsemanship skills. This gives our girls an excellent foundation for success, not only as they progress into the academy, but also in other areas of their lives.
Hope in Horsemanship
H.E.A.R.T. Hope in Horsemanship is our most in-depth program. Girls who are accepted into the Academy receive tutoring, mentoring and equine assisted therapy.
