Enriching Lives
Your journey to connecting and growing with horses begins here.
Welcome to Horse Sense for Kids
At Horse Sense for Kids, we believe that every child has the potential to thrive, and horses are the key to unlocking that potential. Our programs create meaningful connections between children and horses, offering a space where they can grow emotionally, develop leadership skills, and build resilience. Through the healing power of horses, children are empowered to face challenges with a sense of strength, courage, and hope.
Our horsemanship programs provide more than just riding instruction—they offer life lessons in teamwork, trust, and responsibility, all within a supportive and nurturing environment. Each child’s journey with us is personalized, ensuring they receive the attention and guidance they need to flourish.
You can make a difference—whether by enrolling a child in one of our programs or supporting us through donations. Join us in creating a brighter future for children in Niagara. Together, we can help them discover the power of horses and the strength within themselves.
Our Impact
“My daughter loves barn days and is always excited to go. Paige will tell you it’s the best day of the week! She is a very quiet, shy girl who has been searching for a special place to belong. Since joining the Horse Sense Horsemanship Program, I have seen so much growth in her confidence and sense of identity.”
