Most of our horses are generously donated by individuals.  Because not all horses are good candidates for a therapeutic riding program, each horse goes through a thorough trial period for up to 120 days. A program horse candidate must be calm, react positively to human interaction, be in good physical condition, and have been well-trained under the saddle at the walk, trot, and canter.

If you are interested in donating a horse to The Shea Center, please visit the horse donation page on our website.
