Overview of our programs involved with providing EAS to individuals with special needs:
     New Day Equine Therapy is a 501(3)(c) non-profit, based in Ashland, Virginia, which provides therapeutic mounted and unmounted services to cancer patients, survivors, and their families.

     For each student, Nachman develops an individualized lesson plan catered to the needs and confidence of the rider.
