Hope from Horses

Grays Harbor 4-H Club


Hope from Horses is a 4-H club that has served young riders with serious physical and cognitive challenges since 1985. Twice a month between October and May, volunteers from various horse clubs in Grays Harbor volunteer their time and their horses to provide an exciting and therapeutic experience to the more than 20 young people enrolled in Hope from Horses.

With volunteer time and community donations, each rider gets a safe yet stimulating ride which challenges them to learn and grow in their skills. This year a physical therapist joined the group and introduced new skill-building games and activities to stretch the youth even more.

 

Hope from Horses has generated many special friendships, and each year at the Grays Harbor Fair the “Therapy Horse of the Year” is honored. In 2008 the winner was Chubby, a Norwegian Fjord who comes nearly every ride night to see his friends.
