About Us

Overcoming obstacles one hoof at a time

Our Story

My Heroes began services in 2005 in the Buckhead area of Atlanta at the prestigious Chastain Horse Park and immediately developed a reputation for providing the highest quality of service in the world of physical and occupational therapy. Our specific training and incorporation of equine movement into our plan of care sets us apart from most other traditional clinics and allows us to achieve goals otherwise considered unattainable. In 2011 we began a second program at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, which is now located in the Temple Grandin Equine Center on the university campus.
