ABOUT US
At North Shelby School, students with disabilities are benefiting from an innovative learning program that utilizes horses. This effective approach enhances both physical development and emotional well-being, enabling students to build confidence and improve communication skills while establishing a meaningful connection with these gentle animals.

Hearts and Hooves was established in 1998 as a volunteer-driven program that has significantly benefited from the generous contributions from our community. These donations facilitated the construction of an arena and the acquisition of essential supplies to launch our initiative. Initially operating once a week, the program expanded to two days by 2000, and our focused fundraising efforts in 2002 resulted in the development of a covered arena. After several successful years at the former North Shelby School campus, we transitioned in 2018 to North Shelby School's new campus, highlighting the strong support from the school system. Today, Hearts and Hooves proudly incorporates therapy dogs, miniature horses, various groundwork activities, and riding providing empowering opportunities for all participants.
