Why Bits & Pieces?

The benefits of therapeutic horse riding and equine-assisted services are well established and offer meaningful support for individuals with a range of physical, cognitive, or emotional challenges. Working with horses can improve strength, balance, and coordination while also fostering confidence, self-esteem, and emotional well-being.

Bits & Pieces, a publicly-funded 501(c)3, provides professional, PATH International-accredited instruction, allowing you or your loved one to pursue health and wellness goals while discovering joy and a renewed sense of possibility alongside these remarkable animals.
