A collaborative equine-assisted learning & wellness center

---

We are proud to announce the expansion of COPE Farm School with the opening of our South Annex just minutes from Huntsville, Alabama.

This new location brings our mission to a growing community - offering the same powerful, connection-based experiences that have transformed lives through horses, nature and hands-on learning.

The South Annex brings together equine-assisted experiences, movement-based wellness, and connection-driven learning in a way that is both powerful and deeply human.

This work is shaped by real-world experience - including work with pediatric cancer patients and neurodivergent individuals, where movement, connection and emotional expression became essential tools for resilience, regulation, and growth.

That same philosophy now lives here, in Alabama. 

The South Annex is designed as a collaborative, multi-dimensional environment supporting children, teens, and adults across educational, developmental and wellness needs.

We welcome collaboration with:

* Hospitals and rehabilitation centers

* Occupational and physical therapists
