Testimonials

From a program director:

I could tell immediately when he had been with the horses. He was calmer and more centered. This has made a huge difference in his life and he is much happier.

 

From the director of a cooperating non-profit:

Shortbus needs safe work opportunities for artists. ATRC gets a grant for vocational training/workers. ATRC hires Shortbus artists. They learn skills while doing a great job. Shortbus is happy. ATRC is happy. The artists are happy. The horses are happy. Everyone wins.  (Click to see Shortbus participants in action.)

 

From a parent:

Our son LOVES riding and the horses really calm him down. When our son is having a panic attack we try to bring him back by talking about the horses. Omar is a saving grace! When our son is lost in anxiety, us talking about details about Omar, has helped our son to slow his breathing and come back in his body.
