The most important and unique aspect of horseback riding is the relationship between the rider and the horse. At HUNKAPI Farms we focus on this often-neglected aspect in all of our equine-centered programming. We firmly believe that it’s impossible to interact with a horse and walk away unchanged. The Hunkapi programs all have one aim – to use the bond between horse and human as a catalyst for positive growth in the lives of our participants.

Our participants come from diverse backgrounds, abilities and from as young as 3 years through adulthood. We serve clients with a wide range of diagnoses including, but not limited to: Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Emotional Disorder, Addiction Disorder, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
