The Future

A new home in Lowell

We're building a riding and wellness center on 110 donated acres in Lowell, Arkansas, so more families across Northwest Arkansas can experience the healing power of horses.

Why we're expanding

Equestrian Bridges is in Rogers today, and riders are waiting for a spot. Our new facility in Lowell will let us serve more participants, shorten our waiting list, and reach even more families across Northwest Arkansas and beyond.

The new center will offer all of our current services and programs, with expanded offerings including guided trail rides and enhanced wellness experiences, furthering our mission to make equine-assisted activities accessible to everyone who needs them.

What the new center makes possible

  • Guided trail rides, so clients can enjoy the mental and emotional benefits of nature
  • More therapeutic riding sessions to meet the growing need for mental health support in Northwest Arkansas
  • Year-round sessions in an indoor arena, rain or shine
  • The best possible facilities for the care and wellbeing of our therapy horses
  • Every program we offer today, in one place built for them

Made possible by

The Johnnie and Johnelle Hunt Family

We have always dreamed of the places we could go and the ways we could grow to serve our clients. For years, that dream felt just out of reach, until the incredible generosity of the Hunt family made it possible.

In December 2021, the Hunt family donated 110 acres of land to Equestrian Bridges to bring a new riding and wellness center to Northwest Arkansas. Their gift marks the beginning of a new chapter for our organization and for the families we serve.
