Project Horse Empowerment Center is a Virginia-based nonprofit that uses rehabilitated rescue horses to support mental health care through experiential learning and therapy programs. By fostering a calming environment, the organization aims to promote growth and self-discovery for individuals seeking renewed hope and confidence, while also focusing on the well-being of the horses involved. The center operates as an all-volunteer organization incorporated in Virginia, serving participants who may benefit from non-traditional therapeutic approaches. Located in Purcellville, the nonprofit situates itself within the broader field of equine-assisted therapy, positioning its offerings as an option for people dealing with various mental health conditions as part of a mutual healing community. A notable development in the organization’s history is its acquisition by The Arc of Loudoun in 2021, reflecting an expanded commitment to supporting people with disabilities, including mental health conditions, through its programs and advocacy. The center has also launched initiatives such as Warrior Herd to provide veterans and their families with opportunities for relaxation and restoration in a natural setting.
