Courtney Grimshaw Equine Assisted Services Initiative
Courtney Cares
The Courtney Grimshaw Equine Assisted Therapies Initiative is home to the Courtney Cares program that is a Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship (PATH) International Premier Accredited Center.
Courtney Cares is available to children and adults, with physical and/or cognitive conditions, and veterans, in the Brazos Valley. We offer three distinct programs: equine-assisted activities, equine-assisted therapy, and “Equine Services for Heroes.”
This program provides experiential learning about the therapeutic horsemanship industry for Aggie student volunteers, while they serve the community and demonstrate the Texas A&M core values of respect, excellence, leadership, loyalty, integrity, and selfless service.
