MALVERN, Pa.--Thorncroft Equestrian Center has announced a first-time grant awarded from Foxwynd Foundation partners designed to fund the purchase and first-year care of two specially trained adaptive lesson horses, Bentley and Flash, helping expand access to its renowned Adaptive/Therapeutic Horsemanship Program.
BentleyThrough a partnership with Thorncroft, the Foxwynd Foundation will directly support the acquisition, veterinary care, training, feeding, and first-year maintenance of Bentley and Flash, two carefully selected horses chosen for their temperament, health, training, and suitability for riders with physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges.
Bentley is a versatile, beginner-friendly horse whose calm temperament and strong foundational training make him an ideal partner for riders beginning their horsemanship journey.
Flash’s smooth gait, balanced build, and specialized training make him uniquely suited for riders living with neurological and mobility challenges, including Cerebral Palsy, traumatic and non-acquired brain injuries, and Multiple Sclerosis.
Both horses will also serve individuals with developmental disorders, neurodivergent learners, and riders with a wide range of support needs.
Bentley and Flash possess the steady disposition and advanced training required to safely support adaptive riders alongside instructional teams.
“The growing demand for adaptive riding services continues to outpace available lesson horses,” said Tiffany Meyer, President of Thorncroft Equestrian Center. “The addition of Bentley and Flash will allow us to reduce waitlists and provide more riders with access to the life-changing benefits of adaptive horsemanship.”
