ABOUT
About Us
Robinson's Equine is a family-owned Quarter Horse facility in Lafayette, Indiana. For over 24 years, we've been raising horses on our farm, many of which are retired cutting or 4-H horses, beloved family pets, or were born and raised here.

Meet Our Team
Donna and Jim Robinson have spent decades raising and caring for Quarter Horses, building a foundation of trust and expertise that guides every aspect of our program. Their hearts for animals and children drive our program. Their granddaughter, Shelby Borgestad, with a degree in Animal Science, and her husband Caleb, who has a degree in elementary education, assist in caring for the property and leading the therapeutic riding program with a passion for empowering children and creating meaningful connections between riders and horses.
The Benefits of Equine Activities
Therapeutic riding and equine activities offer numerous benefits for children, both with and without special needs. They help improve motor skills, balance, and coordination while fostering confidence, empathy, and emotional growth. The unique bond between rider and horse provides a calming, empowering experience that supports physical and emotional well-being.
Our Values and Vision
At Robinson's Equine, we believe in the transformative power of horses to bring joy, healing, and growth to children of all abilities. Our mission is to provide a safe, inclusive environment where children can thrive and build life-changing connections. Looking ahead, we envision expanding our reach to serve even more families, ensuring that therapeutic riding is accessible to anyone who could benefit from it.
Our Impact
Since launching our program in 2020, we have had the privilege of working with countless families, witnessing the incredible progress and joy that therapeutic riding brings. Whether it's a child gaining confidence to try something new or achieving milestones once thought impossible, each story is a testament to the power of equine therapy. Parents often share their gratitude, like one who said, "This program has given our child a sense of independence we never thought possible."
