Our Mission and Vision
Road To Independence is a non-profit, non-riding equine program for individuals with differing abilities. The goal of our program is, together with our donkey herd, to offer meaningful experiences for our participants while providing valuable life skills that can enhance other aspects of their lives.
It is the vision of Road To Independence to provide enriching experiences and opportunities to individuals with differing abilities to form and develop meaningful relationships with the community. We Dare to Dream of a road to independence for all!
