Our Story
Founded in 1984 by Patricia E. Kelly, a U.S. Marine Corp Vietnam-era veteran and African-American cowgirl, Ebony Horsewomen, Inc. (EHI) was established to provide inner-city youth with access to equine-based programming and therapy. Inspired by a child's curiosity about horses, Patricia sought to create opportunities for these youth, ensuring they have access to experiences similar to their suburban peers.
