Causes: Centers to Support the Independence of Specific Populations, Human Services
Mission: Partnering very special horses and compassionate licensed therapists, mental health professionals, and trained Equine Specialists dedicated to providing therapies that can profoundly improve the lives of those living with physical, mental, or emotional challenges.
Target demographics: Children and adults with disabilities , veterans, at-risk youth, and those who are grieving a loved one.
Geographic areas served: The metro Phoenix, Arizona area.
Programs: Therapeutic horseback riding: riding skills are taught so riders may enjoy horseback riding as recreation. Through carefully prepared activities by our certified PATH (Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship) instructors, riders can learn to stop and start, turn, walk over obstacles, amongst other skills, with their equine partners
Hippotherapy uses activities on the horse that are meaningful to the client. The treatment takes place in a controlled environment where graded sensory input can elicit appropriate adaptive responses from the client. Specific riding skills are not taught (as in therapeutic riding), but rather a foundation is established to improve neurological function and sensory processing. This foundation can then be generalized to a wide range of daily activities.
Equine facilities learning: this is a process whereby knowledge is created through the transformation of experience. Experience and learning is the central component of how positive change, perspective, self-awareness, and transformation take place for the client. Our program partners horses with humans, focusing on a wide range of activities designed to practice social and life skills, enhancing self-esteem, and discuss topics such as values and character education. In addition, our onsite clinic provides physical, occupational, and mental health therapies. We also offer some of these services at our client's homes. We will be providing Adult Day Treatment beginning in April 2022.
