Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship Intl

About Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship Intl

Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship Intl. funds the infrastructure of equine-assisted services rather than direct individual aid. Its recent grants support centers, professionals, and programs that deliver therapeutic horsemanship, with awards reaching organizations such as Stable Strides in Elbert, Colorado and Shining Hope Farms in Mount Holly, North Carolina. The largest recent grant in the file is $22,625, and the 2024 list shows support for therapeutic riding, equine-assisted therapy, and horsemanship centers across multiple states. The foundation’s stated mission centers on standards, education, certification, and accreditation for safe, effective equine-assisted services. That emphasis appears in the types of grantees it backs: member organizations providing services, practitioners, and sector stakeholders involved in training, certification, and program administration. Recent awards also extend to centers serving specialized communities, including Hope for Heroes Horsemanship Center in Yelm, Washington and Dream Catchers at the Cori Sikich in Williamsburg, Virginia. Across the recent grant list, the pattern is consistent: modest awards to operating organizations that are part of the field’s service delivery and professional support system.
