Perks Family Equine Center

Lockwood Park’s Perks Family Equine Center provides Equine-Assisted Services that create life-changing experiences. Participants learn foundational social and emotional skills to enhance their well-being and build stronger interpersonal relationships. Through innovative curriculums combining equine therapy concepts with Social Emotional Learning (SEL) principles, the programs empower youth to address mental health and social challenges in ways that traditional methods often cannot achieve alone.

Offered in both individual and group settings, these programs benefit individuals, families, schools, community groups, corporate teams, and more.

Why We Need Your Support

Your contributions make it possible for us to offer these vital programs to those who need them most. Whether it’s helping at-risk youth navigate mental health struggles, strengthening family bonds, or fostering emotional resilience i, your generosity fuels our mission to create lasting change through the powerful connection between people and horses.

Join us in this journey of hope and healing by donating today. Together, we can ensure these life-enhancing programs continue to make a difference for years to come.

The connection to horses teaches, in a very deep, impactful way, how to listen and respond to others without speaking, how to care and feel without embarrassment, and how to achieve without bullying. Horses are simply one of the greatest human teachers in history.
