Stockhands Horses for Healing was founded in 2014 based on the belief that horses have the power to heal. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit that provides equine-assisted therapeutic services to children and adults with developmental and physical disabilities as well as Veterans, First Responders and those struggling with mental health and recovery.

Coping with a mental, physical, or emotional challenge isn’t easy. Therapeutic riding programs and equine engagement offer various benefits to those navigating these challenges by helping them discover a sense of confidence, community, peace, control, mental and emotional well-being, purpose, pride, and more.

Located in Delaware, Ohio, we proudly serve our home county and the surrounding central Ohio communities. Making Forward Strides is our largest fundraising event of the year and funds received from this event go toward maintaining our programming and the care and wellbeing of our heard of 32 head of horses.
