Mission
Pal-O-Mine Equestrian began in 1995 as a therapeutic horseback riding program for individuals with disabilities and other vulnerable populations. Our mission has been, and continues to be, to provide a comprehensive therapeutic equine program using horses to facilitate growth, learning and healing. Our populations include children and adults with disabilities, those who have been abused or neglected, the military and the impoverished.
Testimonial
One day my sister said to me, “There is a program where you can ride a horse.” I asked, “By myself?” and made a face. On august 30, 2014, my mother and I had an interview with Lisa Gatti from Pal-O-Mine. Ever since that day I love it – for real. Every time that I ride a horse, I improve. I have been in a couple of shows and earned three first place ribbons and one reserve champion ribbon.When I am on the horse, it feels amazing. After I get off the horse my body feels relaxed, which helps me sleep better at night. When I first started taking lessons, I had helpers on all sides of the horse and one on the horse with me. Now I can ride the horse without someone sitting behind me.Pal-O-Mine also has a work program for people with disabilities. I would definitely recommend Pal-O-Mine to anyone that is disabled and would like to ride a horse. ~ Henry M.L.
