Most of Risewell's equines are donated or leased, rather than purchased. Our horses work an average of five days a week for no more than four 30-minute sessions each day for therapy and an hour for Pony Club. Throughout the year, our horses have breaks to allow for rest. Please review the criteria used in determining whether a horse will fit into our programs. Please note, all horses under consideration for our programs must pass a 45-60 day on-site trial period before becoming permanent members of our herd.
