What is H.A.T.S.?
H.A.T.S. stands for 'Horse Alternative Therapeutic Services.' H.A.T.S. is a non-profit, charitable organization which uses the unique bond between horses and humans as a tool for personal growth and development.
Our Vision Statement H.A.T.S. is a program dedicated to the creation of a centre of excellence where horses and other therapies ( I.e.: music, art, horticulture, pets, drama, etc.) will be used as tools to promote mental, physical, emotional and spiritual wellness in children, youth, adults, families and community groups in the Niagara Region.
Our Mission Statement: H.A.T.S. is dedicated to providing outstanding programs utilizing horses and other therapeutic approaches to enhance the physical and/or emotional health and quality of life of children and adults.

A Celebration of H.A.T.S.
On March 26, 2011 H.A.T.S. hosted their 10th annual “A Celebration of H.A.T.S.”
spring fundraiser at The Beacon Best Western Harbourside Restaurant in Jordan,
Ontario. This fundraiser helps to generate funds to support the yearly operating costs
including board for the horses and administrative items. As H.A.T.S. is a 100%
volunteer organization, these funds aid in reducing fees associated with the program,
making it more accessible to everyone! This year also marked the return of Garner (aka The Toronto Party Band), who provided live entertainment for the over 100 guests who came to celebrate and support the fundraiser this year. H.A.T.S. would like to thank all our many dedicated volunteers who helped with the fundraiser and who continue to support the
organization through our weekly program and being members of the board. As there
are too many people to list - thank you to everyone who donated items for the silent
auction. These many donations are the backbone of this event!
