Non-for-profit organization that provides therapeutic riding lessons to person's with disabilities. WHOA is open from April-October and is increasing yearly with our number of students and always in need of volunteers. Volunteers are essential to the WHOA Program and are needed in all types of areas within the program running smoothing.

WHOA's mission is to provide equine assisted experiences to people with disabilities, ages four-Adult. Therapeutic Riding enhances quality of life and cultivates personal growth through therapeutic, educational, recreational, and social development. Interactions between horses and students have the ability to improve the student's physical capabilities and skills, as well as their social interaction, emotional stability, spiritual well-being and mental focus and processes. The need to promote healthy lives for people with disabilities is apparent and equine interactions assist in the growth, learning, and healing of an individual's well-being, which enhances family and community units.
