MISSION
Camp Able's mission is to cultivate healthy, independent living for people with special needs through skills based training and equine therapy, with a special focus on using horses that have been given sanctuary from difficult circumstances.
VISION
Camp Able's vision is that self-sufficiency is a reasonable and achievable goal for humans regardless of mental, emotional and physical capabilities, with the full acceptance and understanding of their caregivers and society at large.
ABOUT US
Camp Able of Buffalo Gap ("Camp Able") is a nonprofit organization that provides equine therapy to people with special needs and sanctuary to unwanted or neglected horses. At Camp Able, people with special needs experience broad improvements that lead to greater confidence and self-sufficiency, while horses find rehabilitation, care, training and a home.
Camp Able's main facility is located 10 miles outside Abilene at the foot of a limestone mesa that forms one side of "the gap" that is known as Buffalo Gap. To accommodate ongoing growth in demand for its programs and services, Camp Able recently purchased 83 acres of farmland four miles from its currently facility. On this new property, Camp Able plans to build additional grazing pastures (Phase 1) and a covered riding arena (Phase 2).
CAMP ABLE'S HORSE SANCTUARY
As a horse sanctuary, Camp Able is one of only 13 in Texas. All horses brought to Camp Able are evaluated for use in therapeutic riding. Those not used in equine therapy are found adoptive homes or cared for by Camp Able for the rest of their natural lives. More than half of the horses at Camp Able are used in therapeutic riding activities.
