I run a Therapeutic Riding Center O.A.T.S. right down from one of Kid Rocks homes. We have a 50 acre facility and service 120 special needs riders a week yr. round.

We are a non profit and also our 18 horses are all donated to us. So you could say we rescue horses as well. Our special need riders range in ages from 24mo. to 74 yrs old.

We have 2 wonderful videos on our website to show what we do. We currently service 4 counties Oakland, Wayne, Genessee, Livingston and Macomb. O.A.T.S Offering Alternative Therapy with Smiles, Inc.
