PALS (People and Animal Learning Services)

PALS is a Bloomington nonprofit organization that offers equine assisted learning opportunities. Our programs are designed to utilize the power of the human-horse connection. Lessons and classes are facilitated by Instructors and Equine Specialists in Mental Health certified by the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship (PATH). These experiences inspire emotional, cognitive, social, and physical growth though engaging activities with horses. Our services for individuals include adaptive riding and ground lessons for children and adults with physical, developmental, learning, or emotional differences. We offer group classes for specific populations including veterans, first responders, seniors, at-promise youth, and individuals on their journey to addiction recovery.
