OUR PROGRAMS
For over 36 years Ebony Horsewomen (EHI), operating in Hartford's 693-acre historic Keney Park has encouraged community change by providing educational programs, improving the physical and psychological well-being of individuals, with and without disabilities through the use of horses. To carry out its mission, EHI established the three Centers of Excellence. Each Center provides community services in its area of specialization.
HEAL
Healing Horses Therapy Center
Our Culturally Competent Equine Assisted Therapy and Psychotherapy puts people and horses together along with a therapist in an environment designed to promote emotional growth and learning and used to help with a variety of mental health issues from PTSD, addiction, to low self-esteem. No riding experience is necessary, and in most cases, you won't be required to ride the horse at all.
