We've been Offering Alternative Therapy with Smiles since 1997. Our mission: to promote the health, well-being and happiness of handicapped individuals through horseback riding and related activities. As a 501(c)3 nonprofit in Clarkston, Mich., our PATH Intl. (formerly NARHA) premier accredited center serves all ages and disabilities year round. We help horses too!
Meet Elf, our newest addition to the O.A.T.S. herd.

Elf was born with his ear deformity, but that won't affect his potential to bring smiles to our riders. Read more about Elf and how he was rescued here.
