Great Oak provides equine assisted activities that promote the physical, emotional, and psychological health of individuals with disabilities. At Great Oak, we change lives. Our programs are the catalyst for unbridled personal growth and awareness. We share our knowledge to empower individuals and their families.

At the heart of our work is the transformative power of the horse-human connection. Through our Adaptive Horsemanship program, individuals with disabilities build strength, confidence, and independence in a supportive and inclusive setting. Our Equine-Assisted Learning program offers hands-on opportunities for students, professionals, and community groups to explore communication, leadership, and self-awareness through guided interaction with our horses. Whether serving a child with special needs, a corporate team, or a classroom of young learners, each experience fosters personal growth, empathy, and connection.

With an annual operating budget of approximately $550,000, Great Oak relies on the generous support of foundations, corporate sponsors, individual donors, fundraising events, and in-kind contributions from community partners. This support keeps our programs financially accessible to all, regardless of ability to pay, while ensuring high standards of equine care and instruction. Every gift helps sustain daily operations and brings life-changing opportunities to individuals of all abilities.
