Long Island Annex- Now Open!
Now Open on Long Island! PonyUp4Kids Foundation Expands to Suffolk County
We are proud to announce the opening of the PonyUp4Kids Foundation Annex in Suffolk County, Long Island, expanding our mission to bring transformative equine-assisted programs to more individuals, families, and communities.
Our new location will offer the Community Equine Obstacle Course, a powerful, unmounted, hands-on experience where participants are paired with a horse and guided through thoughtfully designed obstacle challenges. This program builds confidence, focus, emotional regulation, problem-solving, team building, leadership, and resilience—skills that translate directly into everyday life.
Participants learn to break down obstacles, manage emotions under pressure, communicate clearly, and build trust through a meaningful human–equine partnership. No prior horse experience is required, and the program is welcoming, inclusive, and open to the public.
This inclusive community class is designed for:
* Individuals and young adults
* Community members seeking personal growth
* Anyone ready to learn, grow, and discover their potential
Classes start February 1, 2026
Registration open now!
