Connected Horse
Life Affirming Programs
for Living with Dementia
Our Programs
Trained facilitators guide on-the-ground interactions between horses and participants, who report a greater sense of awareness, confidence, and social connection.
Engaging programs and products are available for those who cannot attend in-person events including the Virtual Barn, developed in partnership with Mentia, and the Sensory Engagement Kit.
Bring life-changing programming to your community. Qualified barns throughout the US and Canada can enroll in the Training Institute and become approved Connected Horse workshop facilities.

”“I believe Connected Horse is really onto something. Theirs is an organization that provides therapeutic equine therapy to those experiencing memory loss and dementia, along with their families and communities, to bring compassionate care and healing between people and horses. Please join me in supporting this worthy organization.

”Horses’ innate abilities to understand their environment, support their herd, and provide nonjudgmental responses and feedback allow for a rich learning and healing environment. Combining working with horses with workshop exercises such as mindfulness leads to a therapeutic result, including reducing feelings of depression and anxiety, strengthening coping skills and reducing isolation.

”Not only as an advocate of horse and human harmony and connection, but also as a Certified HeartMath Trainer, I am always aware of exemplary programs, methods, and tools that successfully help manage stress, anxiety, and mental blocks. Connected Horse is one such program.
