Halleck Creek Ranch improves the lives of Bay Area youth with disabilities and their families by

providing low-cost individual and group therapeutic horseback riding programs and equine assisted

activities. These programs help to break down barriers to outdoor physical activity, improve mental

health, foster independence and self-confidence, build family and peer relationships, and increase

interaction between the disabled and non-disabled community, leading to a richer, fuller life for all. This

form of therapy is a dynamic, exciting form of exercise that is often recommended by medical

professionals as a complementary form of physical, occupational or speech therapy for youth with

disabilities. Through its unique physical movements, animal-human bonds, and adventurous nature,

equine-assisted activities and therapeutic horseback riding helps our participants to gain the strength,

coordination, self-confidence, and sensory skills needed to live independent, healthier lives.
