Our motto "Horses Give Us Wings", comes from a verse in the Bible.  It is found in Isaiah 40:31 For those that wait upon the Lord, shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings as eagles.  They shall run and not grow weary. They shall walk and not grow faint.

In 2002, Sheri Holmes founded Flying Free. Mrs. Holmes worked as a therapeutic riding instructor at Hope Therapy in Galveston.  She has taught students and trained horses for twenty five years.  When becoming aware of the demise of Hope Therapy, Mrs. Holmes realized the huge gap this left in our community.  Hoping to help fill in that gap, she began to pursue founding a therapeutic riding center.  It took two years to open the doors.  The pilot program started in May of 2003 with four students.

The facility is located on approximately six acres in Galveston County, Texas. Flying Free is able to serve anyone in and around the Houston Area.  The facility consists of a covered riding arena, a large barn with a heated wash area for the horses, the main office with restrooms, an air-conditioned lounge area (being remodeled), mounting ramps, a gazebo and a waiting area for parents. 

Flying Free is open Tuesday through Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m..   Flying Free accepts all physical, cognitive, emotional, and medical disabilities unless equine assisted therapy is contraindicated by medical personnel or the instructor feels we are unable to help someone meet their goals.
