Manes & Miracles is a 501(c)(3), non-profit organization. We provide therapeutic riding, and hippotherapy to those with a wide diversity of physical, cognitive, mental, and emotional disabilities.

Horseback riding mimics the human gait, therefore the rider shows improvement in posture, muscle control, sensory-motor skills, balance, and much more. Internally the rider makes progress towards self-awareness, self-confidence, self-discipline, and concentration. The horses' legs become those of the rider, giving them a feeling of freedom and mobility that they are unable to experience in other aspects of their lives. Almost always, these riders and animals establish a very strong bond allowing the rider to experience unconditional love, trust, and self-worth.

Our Facility

At Manes and Miracles, a comprehensive treatment plan is developed that integrates the movement of the horse with traditional speech, physical, and occupational therapy treatment strategies to that therapeutic goals are achieved.

Capital improvements include a 4,000 square foot equine-assisted therapy facility and a 14,400 square foot arena on 30 acres that was donated to Manes & Miracles by Cabaness Farms in Chaffee Crossing, Barling, Arkansas.
