New Hope was founded in 2012 by Sharla and Dave Kershen in order to foster a program encouraging the horse and human connection for the benefit of both horse and rider but specifically for those with disabilities. At New Hope Equine Assisted Therapy, we provide therapeutic horseback riding services for people with a variety of disabilities, special needs, and challenges. We strive to bring hope, healing and happiness to all those who participate in our programs, including the newly launched program for veterans and first responders, Horses Helping Heroes.
