Health, Happiness & Healing through Horses Since 1988
Horses of Hope Oregon was founded in 1988 and is the longest continuously operating equine assisted services program in the State of Oregon. We provide equine assisted services in a safe, friendly, accessible, and supportive environment, to a diverse population of individuals with a variety of physical, cognitive, emotional and behavioral needs. We are located in Turner, Oregon and currently serve participants from the mid-Willamette Valley and 10 surrounding counties. Our participants are from Portland to Eugene, and Benton County to the far eastern reaches of Jefferson County.
We meet the challenges of those with but not limited to, cerebral palsy, down syndrome, PTSD, autism, and ADHD. Participants of all ages benefit from the movement and innate behavior of the horse to connect with people and reflect their emotions back to them. Equine assisted services help to develop strength and balance, flexibility, confidence, problem solving, and empowerment.

TESTIMONIALS
Hear from Our Community
My daughter has been in various therapies since she was six months old. We often leave those appointments exhausted and in tears. HOH has been the first “therapy” we both look forward to attending. She connected right away with the horses and staff and now gets upset when the visit is over! Having a child with disabilities and medical complexities, it often feels like our schedule is filled with medical appointments and therapies rather than activities. However, HOH feels like an activity my daughter is involved with— not a therapy. We are so appreciative of the staff, the horses, and the entire organization.

The first time I toured the barn, my tear-filled eyes poured over with gratitude. I finally felt like my children walked into a place that was expecting THEM and wanted nothing more than to see them thrive. This place has become such a gem to our family, bless their amazing staff for all they do for us and others! Addison wanted to be on a horse the moment she entered the barn, I’ve never seen her so excited in all 3 years of her life! Jackson learned to not be afraid of trying something new! This has transferred to many other areas of his young life, including preschool.”

Horses of Hope has helped my daughter make many steps in her development. She has been attending sessions at HOH for two years, and has made many gains! Most notably, her self-confidence, poise and balance have all improved. She loves her weekly visits to Horses of Hope, and enjoys time with the staff, volunteers and, of course, the horses. We are so glad she is a part of the HOH family!!
