Dementia Support

Dementia Support
Our program uses the healing power of horses to help enrich the quality of life for adults who have dementia. Research shows that the interaction with horses can have psychological and emotional benefits for those with dementia.
From a Participant's Family:
​Maggie, Susan, Karen, and everyone at Special Equestrians: In honor and memory of my mom and Skippy, I would like to express my profound gratitude for the joy that assisted equine therapy provides. Because my mom grew up on a farm in New Hampshire, she was able to commune with Skippy long after she had lost her ability to connect with most humans. Spending time with Skippy (and all of you) was one of the few lights on the very dark path of dementia. We will always hold Skippy in our hearts, and I know my mom is taking good care of him for you, Maggie.
