Mission: To improve the social, emotional, physical, and behavioral development of children, youth, and adults in Northern Nevada through high-quality equine-assisted services delivered in a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment
In response to our region’s growing mental health crisis and its lack of support for individuals with disabilities, LEAD with Horses stands as a beacon of hope. As t
he only organization in northern Nevada offering a comprehensive range of evidence-based equine assisted programming, we are able to serve individuals with diverse needs—soon from one centralized location. This integration strengthens our ability to provide transformative experiences, foster resilience, and create lasting change for those in need. Combining proven educational and therapeutic approaches with horses’ powerful and healing nature supports, encourages, and empowers individuals of all abilities. Our equine assisted activities address a wide range of mental health and human development challenges, working from a strength-based perspective, rooted in the core belief that everyone has something valuable to bring to the experience and our community
