Humans and horses create a warm and welcoming environment for
healing and self-discovery
Therapeutic Horses of Saratoga (THS) is a 501c3 nonprofit organization supporting second careers for retired racehorses in leading safe and meaningful lives. These horses improve the mental health and emotional wellness that strengthens our community through therapeutic programming and the horse-human connection.
