Rooted in Care.
Built on Experience.

Founded by two PATH Intl. certified professionals with over 50 years of combined experience, Legacy Equine Center and Sanctuary Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit committed to equine wellness and the transformative power of the human-horse connection.

Our herd includes horses who continue to serve as therapeutic partners alongside horses who have given years of devoted service and now live out their days in the dignity and exceptional care they have earned. For our participants, we offer mounted and ground-based programs for children, adults, and groups navigating physical, emotional, and cognitive challenges.

A Legacy of Impact

Our founders bring over 50 years of combined experience. These words are from families they've served along the way.

"The best part is just Tressa's temperament when she's here... so much calmer, silly, giggling, happy. If she's having a really bad day, it just calms her down. There's really something to that therapeutic riding. And Nora is just that ultimate person whisperer. Nora is the key to the whole thing. Tressa responds to her so well. It's just really, really special."

Mary + Mike Meade, parents of Tressa

TEC participant for 11 years

“When I first started working with Mrs.B, I struggled with anger and was mean and disrespectful. Working with the support of Nora and the calm personality of Mrs. B, helped me to be less angry. The horses helped me heal, to become more confident, and form better relationships with the adults around me.. Working with Mrs. B wasn't just about brushing her but about healing old wounds and building new, trusting relationships.”

Every Level Matters

Running a PATH Intl. certified program alongside a working sanctuary takes an entire community. Your sponsorship helps cover everything from horse care and facility upkeep to instructor training and adaptive program supplies. There is a place for everyone in this work. If you would like to contribute an item or experience, we would love to hear from you.

We currently accept donations via Venmo. Checks may be made payable to Legacy Equine Center & Sanctuary and mailed to 26 Strong Street, Easthampton, MA 01027.

Every horse here, working or retired, deserves exceptional care. Your support helps provide exactly that, from feed and farrier visits to veterinary care, facility upkeep, and the ongoing work of building something lasting for this community.
