Little Bit was founded in June 1976 by a woman named Margaret Dunlap. Margaret had Multiple Sclerosis and found that being on the back of a horse slowed the advance of her disease. From their humble beginnings of one horse and five riders, Little Bit has grown to be one of the largest nationally accredited, industry-leading PATH (Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship) International centers and one of the largest full-time therapeutic horsemanship programs in the United States.
Little Bit's mission is to provide a community where horses transform the bodies, minds, and spirits of people with disabilities. Their flagship programs—Adaptive Riding and Hippotherapy—both utilize the unique qualities of the horse to effect positive change in the lives of children and adults with disabilities.
Little Bit serves more than 500 clients annually with 29 horses and the help of more than 1200 volunteers.
