Who We Are

Transforming lives through equine partnerships.

At BEAMING, we facilitate life-changing equine experiences to promote physical, cognitive and emotional well-being for those in our community facing unique challenges.

Discover the healing power of horses.

Through interaction and connection with horses, BEAMING’s program participants are able to learn, heal and grow, empowering them to improve their physical, mental and emotional health.

Our program participants see improvements in posture, balance, fine and gross motor skills, cognition and language skills, and self-confidence and assertiveness, among a host of other benefits.

At the BEAMING Barn, we embrace diversity, we promote inclusion and we celebrate those with diverse abilities. We provide a safe, nonjudgmental community gathering space where all are welcome.

What We Do

BEAMING offers equine programs in six primary categories: diverse abilities support (for children with challenging physical and/or cognitive disabilities and/or mood disorders), dementia support, teen support, veterans’ support, trauma support and women’s support.

Our programs include Saddle Up for Success (individual lessons), Dragons in Flight (advanced lessons), Partners in Riding (a partnership with local school districts) and Pony Power Academy (for children who have struggled learning to read and write); LAUNCH (group classes) for troubled and hurting youth; Military & First Responders Support (for all military personnel); RideStrong for those affected by trauma; Stable Minds Support (for those with PD dementia), and we are the second in the nation to offer Riding in the Moment, a program for seniors with early- to moderate-onset dementia, Alzheimer’s or other forms of memory loss.

In addition, we offer regular Equine-Assisted Memory Cafes which invite seniors in the community with memory loss and their caregivers to improve their quality of life by experiencing the benefits of equine-assisted services. We also hold annual camps (two sessions each), Hold Your Horses Teen Camp and CANTER Camp for troubled and hurting youth, and Autism Camp for children with autism.

BEAMING was founded in 2004 and is a member of the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship (PATH) International.
