Our Horse Team
Every horse used in FREE’s programs is highly trained and has met stringent criteria to be a part of an adaptive horsemanship program.
Initial requirements to be a part of the program includes having a sweet temperament, a patient personality, the right conformation and a clean gait and movement. Each horse must remain calm and trust its handler.
Once a horse meets these initial standards, it undergoes extensive training before it is accepted and used in
FREE’s adaptive horsemanship and groundwork programs. All horses in FREE programs are limited to four hours of class work per day.
