Testimonials

We were happy to find EEU. My daughter has cerebral palsy and it is hard to find activities that encourage her and she can excel in. The are excellent with the students and make it fun while also therapeutic. I appreciate all they and their volunteers do!

Our Daughter Sophia has been part of Exceptional Equestrians. This program has been so amazing. It has helped Sophia with fine and gross motor skills and following through with tasks, and it also makes her feel calm and happy. We consider everyone at EEU family.
