How you help
OATS works to support community members with special needs and their families through therapeutic horseback riding. Communication and interaction with horses supports physical, mental, and emotional development. Through horseback riding, our instructors and volunteers help those with various special needs achieve improved well-being.
About us
OATS is a warm place to work with horses, donkeys, goats, and most importantly riders with special needs. Our volunteers get to handle and hug horses daily all while helping the riders achieve their dreams and become stronger.
