Heads Up!, a NARHA (North American Riding for the Handicapped Association) Premier accredited center, formed in 1991, provides hippotherapy and other therapeutic equine-related activities to individuals in central North Carolina with physical, emotional or developmental disabilities to enhance positive reinforcement and encouragement towards independence.

We put people with disabilites on horses in an inclusive setting!

Founded in 1991, Heads Up! was established through a start-up grant from the Episcopal Archdiocese of Central North Carolina. Initially, we offered three hours of therapeutic riding a week in the spring and fall and served just five students. We rented a farm for an afternoon one day a week outside of Pittsboro. We then were hosted at Trilogy Farms for many years.

Currently Heads Up! has a home just 2 miles south of Pittsboro. Heads Up! is a 501(c)3 non-profit serving over 30 people each week. Our staff includes a nationally certified riding instructor and a physical therapist and we are a NARHA (North American Riding for the Handicapped Association) Premier accredited center.

We are absolutely dependent on our community for support, both monetary and in manpower. Please consider giving of your time and/or of your money.
