Founded in 1971, NCEFT is internationally recognized as a pioneer and leader in the field of equine-assisted programs. For 50 years, NCEFT has tapped into the profound rehabilitative power of the human-horse relationship to facilitate healing to thousands of Bay Area children and adults (ages 2-90+) with physical, cognitive, neuromuscular, mental, and emotional challenges and disabilities. Typical patient diagnoses we treat include, but are not limited to, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, Down syndrome, autism, developmental delay, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, paralysis, stroke, genetic disorders, ADHD, learning or language disabilities, as well as PTSD, anxiety, depression, social isolation, grief and loss.
NCEFT’s programs include Physical, Occupational, and Speech Therapy (incorporating a horse’s dynamic movement into the patient’s treatment plan), Adaptive Riding (recreational horseback riding and horsemanship lessons adapted for an individual’s disability), Equine-Assisted Mental Health & Resilience Workshops, Happy Trails Camp, Special Education School Programs, Veteran and First Responder Programs, Horsemanship Skills Programs, and several Diversity Community Outreach Programs.
NCEFT’s breadth and depth of programming, tenure, and history of pioneering equine-assisted programs in the United States sets us apart from other similar organizations in the area. Our fiscal integrity and transparency is evidenced by our achievements of Platinum status from Guidestar.org and a 5-Star rating with GreatNonProfits.org. Additionally, NCEFT has Guardian status with EQUUS Foundation (indicating the highest standards of care for horses), and we have the distinction of being the only Northern California Facility member of the American Hippotherapy Association.
NCEFT provides financial assistance to those who qualify as one of our core goals is to never turn away an individual who qualifies for our programs due to their inability to pay. Additionally, we provide 100% scholarship funding to veterans and first responders as a way of giving back to this often-overlooked at-risk population.
