A minor non-profit organization that has a great goal, but no widespread notability. I'm coming up short on looking for sources. Aside from the group's own page, which is unusable as a reliable source, I'm only finding the groups name listed in general directories without any actual in depth coverage, and very trivial mentions in articles about other things (for example, mentioning that someone used to work there). I also found a couple of false leads, which were actually about a magazine article that just happened to have the same title as this organization.

As an additional note, there are a number of news articles that come up that are pay-per-view, however, these are all extremely local papers ("The South Florida Sun" and "Boca Raton News" being the two most prominent). And while these papers do seem to like writing about the group a lot, as they are purely local coverage there is not any indication of any widespread notability.

Delete. There are a lot of people out there trying to use horses for healing, including treating soldiers with PTSD. The problem is that most of the people who need help don't have the money for expensive, nontraditional horse therapy. That is one reason this business has not risen to notability. As it stands, this is pure WP:SPAM without any WP:RS. Qworty (talk) 00:23, 26 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete as run of the mill. There are dozens of such nonprofits, hardly any of which are notable, e.g., Mending Hearts. Bearian (talk) 21:42, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
