Great and Small is a private, nonprofit community-based program founded in 1998 that offers therapeutic horseback riding lessons to individuals with a range of physical, emotional, and cognitive disabilities. Based in the United States, the organization serves students with conditions such as Autism, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, and Multiple Sclerosis, among others, using horseback movement as a natural means to promote balance, trunk and lower-extremity strength, and overall confidence. The program aims to provide a supportive environment where riders can learn to ride in harmony with their needs, experiencing both therapeutic benefits and personal accomplishment. As part of the nonprofit sector focused on equine-assisted activities, Great and Small aligns with others in the field that emphasize the experiential and functional value of riding for participants with disabilities.
