What is Dream Riders of KY?

Sandy shares her experience, training, passion, and love for horses at Dream Riders of Kentucky and helps others develop the same passion. Through Dream Riders, the participants that have invisible and visible disabilities improve their quality of life and reach their personal goals while working with special therapeutic horses.

The twelve therapeutic horses that call Dream Riders their home each weigh about 1200 pounds. They have unique personalities that can sense how to best interact with their rider. They are very attentive and aware of each person they meet. These special horses have emotional intelligence that helps them interact with the participant they are paired with. Ninety-seven people are served each week through Dream Riders, while eighty volunteers enjoy helping others reach their individual goals.
