About
New Hope Equine Assisted Therapy was founded in 2012 by Sharla and Dave Kershen to foster a program encouraging the horse and human connection for the benefit of both horse and rider, specifically for those with disabilities. The practice provides therapeutic horseback riding for people with a variety of disabilities, special needs, and challenges. In addition to therapeutic riding, New Hope Equine Assisted Therapy offers a program for veterans and first responders, as well as a program called 'Hangin' with Horses' for the general public. The practice strives to bring hope, healing, and happiness to all those who participate in their programs. Lessons are continuous starting in September and going through the end of June, with several natural breaks throughout the year. New Hope Equine Assisted Therapy is a non-profit organization that relies heavily on donations and fundraising to support their mission.
