Causes: Health, Rehabilitative Care

Mission: Hunkapi is the horse program with heart and a name you will never forget. Hunkapi, (pronounced Hoon-KAH-pee) a Native American word translated to mean “I am related to everyone”, offers horse programs that emphasize learning about relationships with yourself and others. Hunkapi was founded as a research program in 1996.When compared to other sports, the research showed that horseback riding was the most positive intervention for children with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and Autism. The positive results prompted the launching of the community outreach program in 1999.Hunkapi believes that interacting with horses can serve as a non-drug intervention alternative. Today, the benefits of the Hunkapi Horse Program are experienced by many, ages 3 through adult, with and without behavioral, emotional and developmental needs. Hunkapi offers a vast range of services including riding programs, corporate teambuilding, equine therapy, and life skills groups. We are on a mission to teach the world to fear less and love more.
