Changing Lives Through Horses
Ebony Horsewomen (EHI) is a one-of-a-kind equestrian and therapeutic center based in Hartford, Connecticut. Founded in 1984, we’ve transformed lives for over four decades through culturally competent equine-assisted psychotherapy, therapeutic riding, and youth development programs. Our mission is rooted in healing, empowerment, and creating opportunities for youth, families, adults, and military veterans in our community, using the powerful bond between humans and horses.
Who We Are
Since 1984, Ebony Horsewomen, Inc. has been more than just a stable; we’ve been a place of healing, purpose, and opportunity. As one of the only Black woman and veteran-owned equine therapeutic centers of our kind in the Northeast, we provide mental health services, youth leadership programs, and riding instruction rooted in cultural understanding and community care.
