Special Equestrians was founded in 1982 by Kathy Quinn using one horse, one rider and one volunteer in a non-handicapped accessible backyard farm. In 1999 we moved to our first permanent home: a state-of-the-art, 28-stall facility with indoor & outdoor arenas, observation room and office space on over 40 preserved acres in Warrington Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Today, we have grown to 9 horses, over 100 active volunteers and 17 staff members. Our clients collectively face over 60 physical and cognitive challenges—many facing multiple disabilities. They range in age 4-54 and come from all ethnic and socio-economic communities. We are proud to be a NARHA member center, giving our community the assurance that we adhere to the highest standards involving the safety of our riders, certification of our instructors, and proper maintenance of our facility. We bring tremendous hope to hundreds of individuals who have discovered the therapeutic benefits of equine-assisted therapeutic activities.
