HOPE HAVEN
THERAPEUTIC RIDING CENTRE
With Gratitude to Founder, James W. Gill
and the Gill Family Charitable Trust
Hope Haven is a 142-acre adaptive riding and equine therapy centre located on top of the Beaver Valley, 2 hours north of Toronto. We offer professional and safe programming for individuals with challenges to learn the skills of equestrian and horsemanship as well as positively influencing their physical, cognitive, emotional and social well-being.
Our Facility
Hope Haven is a CanTRA accredited facility that is located on 142 acres of beautiful farmland on the top of Beaver Valley, just on the outskirts of Markdale Ontario.
Our indoor riding arena allows for our equine programs to occur all year round. Our outdoor riding arena and extensive trail system lets our riders enjoy the picturesque surroundings of Hope Haven during the summer months.
We have two barns containing eighteen box stalls and nine paddocks for our horse herd.
