This organization offers day care to families with special needs children in the Middle Tennessee area. Special kids also has a therapeutic horse riding program called Hoof Beats For Special Kids. 

In April of this year WHOA partnered with Montverde Academy to host a show in Lewisburg to benefit this great organization. This show was very successful with 171 entries. 

In June WHOA partnered with PWHAT for the second year to host a show at Womack Stables in Murfreesboro. This show garnered 167 entries and benefited Special Kids-Hoof Beats Program.
