Project Title: Equine therapy for children from a single parent environment
Project Description:

Today, 36% of our young students come from a single parent environment. More than 50% of these single parent environment students cannot afford equine therapy. The primary participants served in this project range in age from 4 to 21. These students have disabilities which affect their mobility and communications skills, such as Cerebral Palsy, Muscular Dystrophy, Multiple Sclerosis, Down Syndrome and Autism. The disabilities of these students vary with more than 63% having multiple diagnoses.
This project consists of 33 weeks of an hour-long therapeutic riding session. The therapy takes place in our arena or on the sensory trail. The rider learns how to maneuver the horse through cones, over poles or make 360-degree turns or figure 8’s. If possible, the student is asked to use equine terminology. The students are asked the names of different animals or plants while they are on trail rides. The objective of these classes is to have the student improve their balance, coordination, strength, communication, self-confidence, and social skills.

Total Project Budget: $191,700
