• Unparalleled Connections and Bonds with Horses:

  We create a relationship with our horses because they are not merely and simply just animals to us. Here at ABS horses are our teachers, our friends, our partners and sometimes our communicators when we cannot communicate for ourselves, they are our mirrors of what we expect of ourselves, and most assuredly, our loyal companions. Through our programs, events, and lessons and experiences you will discover the profound connections that can be forged between horses and humans.

• Great Motivators

  The horse is a great motivator. Horses bond with participants in ways that appear to be mystical, and soothing to humans.
