What We Do

Since 2013 we have been providing out-patient, unmounted equine therapy services to Military, Veteran, First Responder and family groups across the DC Metro region.

Our Mission

The mission of the HorsePower Equine Assisted Learning (HEAL) Foundation is to empower individuals and groups with a safe, professional, and therapeutic equine experience. HEAL supports the limitless emotional growth and healing potential created by the bond between horse and human.

β€œFor the longest time I feared that nothing could help me. Thanks to HEAL I have been able to begin enjoying time with my children again.”
