Heroes on Horseback is a small nonprofit based in Bluffton, South Carolina, that provides equine assisted activities for individuals with physical, mental, or emotional disabilities. It operates within the philanthropic fundraising services field and emphasizes accessibility, serving participants regardless of race, color, creed, or financial need. The organization offers three primary program tracks to address diverse participant needs: mounted therapy guided by a certified instructor with input from a licensed therapist when available; therapeutic sport riding incorporating exercises and games to develop balance, coordination, motor skills, body awareness, strength, flexibility, teamwork, socialization, and self-esteem; and unmounted learning and vocational training, a ground-based option for participants who cannot or prefer not to ride. The unmounted track can be delivered as weekly lessons or clinics. Across its programs, the organization aims to foster physical, cognitive, social, and psychological development and, for some participants, introduce skills applicable to horse management.
