Celebrating 25 years of French-American Philanthropy

Cheval Bleu

Giving childhood back to every child, regardless of their difficulties, using equine-assisted therapy.

Mission & Vision

Let every child live like a child.

Le Cheval Bleu is a nonprofit organization solely dedicated to improving children’s lives while respecting their individual needs and nurturing their potential. At the heart of every project lies the horse, a natural and trusted partner.

The organization’s mission is to support children, primarily within the framework of Child Protection services, with a focus on those living with disabilities or behavioral disorders. Through animal-assisted therapy, Le Cheval Bleu fosters meaningful individual bonds and collective connections, helping children grow, heal, and thrive.

Actions Led

At Cheval Bleu, the horse is at the heart of every project. For each child in need, as well as for their caregivers and the professionals who support them, the organization creates new and meaningful forms of care. Through equine-assisted therapy, as well as social, cultural, and health-focused workshops, Cheval Bleu offers activities tailored to children facing disabilities or behavioral challenges.
