Transitions EAAT (Equine Assisted Activities and Therapy)

Transitions EAAT (Equine Assisted Activities and Therapy) offers riding lessons and training to everyone from children to military veterans -- in other words... to people of all abilities. With over 30 years of teaching experience, our head trainer, Dawn Honeycutt, has the experience to provide safe, fun and challenging riding instruction. She is certified with American Association of Horsemanship Safety and a certified instructor for working with Veterans.

It is our desire to offer riding lessons (private and group) for those who simply could not otherwise afford the experience. We provide complete training in rider etiquette and safety as well as horse grooming and feeding. We have found that those who have physical challenges as well as those who simply want to ride but can’t afford to do so have the following in common… they need a safe environment with great trainers, a casual, inviting environment and (most of all) horses. Since the cost of therapeutic riding as well as horse riding and training in general is usually out of the price range for most families, it is our ultimate goal to be able to find sponsors for those who need assistance.

As a bonus, we hope to be able to provide a ‘learning environment’ for teens and adults who cannot financially afford our services but who can offer ‘elbow grease’ in order to provide upkeep for the grounds, stalls and horses in general. We do require a 5 week commitment from potential volunteers. This allows you time in getting to know the animals, volunteers and staff.
