Kids & Horses has been serving the Carson Valley community and beyond since 1999. Sam and Lorri Waldman founded the ranch, which initially provided adaptive riding to children and adults with disabilities. With the ongoing dedication and support from so many who believed in the mission, we have grown from our early days to offer so much more. From physical, occupational and speech therapy to summer camps; Washoe Tribal programs; memory loss workshops for individuals and their care partners; and new programs on the horizon such as foster mentorship programs; Kids & Horses continues to push the boundaries of what is possible. We are a PATH certified facility, and take pride in striving to stay on top of the needs of the community, and offering the best programs and services possible using equine assisted services.
