Spirithorse Equine-Assisted Service Center exists to connect people and horses with the goal of empowering their lives through compassion and healing. Our program is inclusive, catering to all abilities, with a focus on enriching the lives of individuals confronting developmental, emotional, social, and physical hurdles through lessons, camps, and classes


Military Personnel


Our Program is dedicated and designed to support and empower military personnel by harnessing the unique and therapeutic bond between humans and horses. Recognizing many challenges, this program offers a safe, inclusive space for healing, growth, and connection.

This program is specifically tailored to address the physical, emotional, and psychological needs of veterans, including those coping with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, and physical injuries. Participants engage in a range of equine-assisted activities, such as horseback riding, grooming, and groundwork, that focus on educational and personal development goals. These interactions foster critical life skills like leadership, problem-solving, and teamwork. We are working with the Martinez VA and Concord Veterans Group. All others are welcome.
