Envision Therapeutic Horsemanship
HistoryWhile Envision Therapeutic Horsemanship Inc. was just recently recognized as a non-profit organization, the principles have been taught for decades. For more than fifty years, the Envision founders have provided equine assisted services, improving the lives of countless individuals. Their experience led to recognition of a need for a new service focus that would expand the horizons of traditional equine therapeutic services. Envision is embarked on ensuring that the benefits of equine therapy are recognized through out the community of service providers.
