  1. To promote Equine Assisted Services while partnering with horses in therapy, para- equestrian sport and therapeutic learning and wellness in British Columbia.
  2. To encourage regional co-operative development and communications.
  3. To provide a framework for those interested in the promotion, research, and development of therapeutic horse-related activities.
  4. To promote and plan workshops and other educational programs on a continuing basis
