The Hoof-Hub Initiative

Ensure every Equine-assisted Services (EAS) provider has seamless access to pre-qualified horses, maintaining program integrity and animal welfare nationwide.

Support the career development of youth as professional trainers through equine-assisted horse training programs.

Establish a standardized, end-to-end supply chain to enhance the acquisition of horses for EAS providers nationwide and to ensure all horses are:

• Pre-screened for temperament, health, and suitability.
• Vetted and evaluated against Use Case criteria, including disposition, size, and training level.
• Trained and tested in simulated operational environments, integrating youth development programs for hands-on experience and career support.
• Responsibly transported to their designated facilities with minimal disruption.
