H.E.L.P. is a therapeutic riding center that helps people with disabilities and challenges gain independence and confidence through horsemanship and horseback riding.

Many families cannot afford our unique services and insurance doesn’t always cover it. Phoebe's Scholarship Fund was created to help those families benefit from our program and can only continue with support from people like YOU!

  • Each rider will pay the $10 entry fee into Parrie Haynes Ranch.
