Horses in Mind is a unique horse riding destination. While Horses in Mind offers the usual horse riding lessons, horse trails, and pony rides, their difference stems from their not-for-profit model.
Horses in Mind
Many of the horses at Horses in Mind were rescued by the organisation and given extensive medical treatment and care before being integrated into the riding programs.
