WE BELIEVE: All The King’s Horses and all the King’s men could help to put them together again…
Our Mission: The mission of ATKH is to Provide Hope by sharing God’s love for people, Build Character by teaching valuable life skills, and Mentor Youth and individuals through horsemanship that fosters healing and personal growth.
We Serve: ATKH is dedicated to serving vulnerable youth, individuals, and families in and around Montgomery County, Texas.
Brief History:
Mixing horses, youth and the hope found in Christ to positively impact lives is a dream that became reality when Linda & Dennis Driesbach founded ATKH as a nonprofit Texas corporation in 2007. Compassionate individuals (including our board of directors, dedicated volunteers, & generous donors) have made our endeavors fun-filled successes.
2026 UPDATES:
Our location by the National Forest in northern Montgomery County is peaceful and beautiful. The covered pavilion is a great gathering place for many activities and new panels for a 140×240 outdoor arena will replace the worn ones from 2005. The ladies Horses & HIM sessions will begin its 2nd semester in Feb 2026 and Family Leg Up Sessions (parent joins their child in the Leg Up format) will expand.
Our Programs:
Various activities throughout the year emphasize horsemanship yet also teach essential life skills. Referred to us by local professionals, vulnerable youth attend our activities free of charge. Our various programs include: Day Camps (2-3 days long), Leg Up Sessions (pair 1 horse & child with 1 mentor for 90-minute sessions during a semester), Round Ups (1 day to connect and/or serve in a group setting), Teen Intern Program (Learn horsemanship and work in our programs.
