ABOUT EQUINE ALLIANCE
Since 1985, Equine Alliance has improved the emotional
and physical well-being of countless horses, children, teens, and
adults. A 501 (c) (3) non-profit foundation, we are dedicated to
providing our equine-assisted intervention and healing services
free of charge for those in need.
Nestled in the countryside-- just 5 minutes East of Paso Robles,
CA-- is a haven for humans and animals. Here, our serene horse ranch
supplies an experiential classroom, where children and adults discover
paths to happier, fuller, and more meaningful lives. Our innovative
year-round programs are the unique collaboration of volunteers,
mentors, licensed therapists, probation officers, case workers,
professional horse handlers, and therapy horses. These gentle and
majestic animals serve between four to five hundred children, teens,
adults and visitors a year, ranging in age from 6 to 83 years of
age.
