Owner/Director/Head Instructor Lori Larson holds professional certifications from PATH Intl. as a Certified Therapeutic Riding Instructor and is an Eagala certified Equine Specialist. She has decades of experience as a rider and instructor, as well as with individuals with mental health needs, those on the the Autism Spectrum, and members of the community of all ages, experience, and abilities.

It has been her lifelong dream to create a safe, peaceful place for horses that needed healing, and for humans to learn to connect with horses and find their own peace, healing, and joy. She and her husband made the leap in 2017 to buy a horse farm in the Hudson Valley and moved from NYC to renovate a 100 year old barn on a magical property in Newburgh.

After several joyous years at our NY farm- and so many incredible students, families, and volunteers we were so honored to call part of our barn family- Evermore, humans and herd, relocated to Gainesville, Florida in Fall of 2024 and will continue our mission in this new, dynamic community.
