Our mission is to promote farmed animal rescue, education and advocacy. Our vision is to help bring an end to the needless and gratuitous suffering of animals where it matters most - 99.7% of these are farmed animals. Our vision is a simple one: a world where respect for animals means they are no longer unnecessarily and systematically exploited and killed. Farmed animals are the 99% who suffer at human hands. Ending their suffering is a big challenge and yet completely and easily within our control. In addition, the implications for addressing climate change (and all other serious environmental issues), world hunger and human health are immense as well.”

HorsePower was co-founded in March 2012 by Carrie Capes and Justin Yahnig to provide creative, inspiring, and challenging therapeutic horseback riding lessons to children and adults with disabilities. In 2013, Horsepower achieved 501(c)3 nonprofit status allowing us to reach more students with a need for our programs. Physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges no longer need to stand in the way of those with special needs who dream about getting into the saddle and making a connection with a special horse. We strive to show our students the horse's power to change us, inside and out! Individualized lesson programs include intake and assessment sessions, groom and tack, groundwork, and horseback riding instruction. We also provide non-disabled riders the extra support they may desire as well as carefully trained, reliable horses and a safe, fun environment in which to learn. Therapeutic horseback riding is a dynamic recreational activity in which individuals with special needs are able to overcome challenges and learn new skills. Communication, connection, and teamwork between the student and their horse offer opportunities for physical, emotional, cognitive, sensory and social growth. Plus, the horse provides irresistible motivation which allows students to achieve more in the saddle than other traditional sports and therapies.

CORRAL pairs at-risk girls with rescued horses to promote healing, transformational growth and ultimately, lasting life-change. The CORRAL Riding Academy is a youth-serving nonprofit operating out of Cary, North Carolina. This program’s mission pairs at-risk girls between the ages of eleven and eighteen with rescued horses to promote healing, transformational growth, and ultimately, lasting life change. CORRAL is intended as a long-term intervention for the youth, requiring a minimum of one year’s commitment from each participant, and anticipating a four to seven year commitment for each student with reapplication every year. The intention of CORRAL is to shepherd youth through their difficult teenage years and into college. The structure of CORRAL is based on five components: horseback riding, vocational training, tutoring, equine-assisted psychotherapy (EAP), and mentorship. These components are designed to allow participants to gain equine knowledge and skills, and also develop the behaviors, attitudes, and skills necessary for success in life beyond horses. CORRAL accepts participants from referring agencies within the community including Human Services, local law enforcement, Juvenile Justice, Teen Court, school teachers and administrators, and other sources. Candidates are selected through an application and interview process. This process measures and compares level of risk and level of commitment with the end goal being that selected participants will demonstrate both a high level or risk and a high level of commitment.
