“

”I’ve witnessed a young boy, too shy to speak, blossom after 3 sessions and begin telling his stories; now he approaches his weekly sessions with a smile and eager to tell the events of the week. No one leaves unchanged.”

Myriah WalkerMountain Valley Developmental Services
“

"This past summer we had a 4 year old boy in our autism camp who had his first horse back riding experience at WindWalkers. The WindWalkers staff is wonderful and caring and their expertise made it a perfect experience for such a young first-timer. His parents were thrilled for his love for this new activity and are searching in California to make sure he grows in his confidence and love for being active."

Deb GravelleREC Program Director

We are firmly committed to aiding not only the rider but also their parents, siblings and care-providers.

WindWalkers is a charitable, non-profit, non-partisan, non-sectarian and non- discriminating service organization that encourages all people to be involved.
