We're feeling the (local) love after receiving funds from the annual Charity Horse Show and a grant from the George R Johnson Foundation located in Cleveland TN! Their funding support will allow us to have additional instructors certified by PATH International this year.
Why is certification so important? PATH (Professional Assoc of Therapeutic Horsemanship) is the global gold standard when it comes to training and development of instructors who provide equine-assisted therapies as we do. It means our participants are getting the best instruction possible, using the high standards taught by PATH. If you want to know more about PATH, check them out here: PATH International.
We also are excited to be able to continue working with Bradley County Schools to allow students to participate win our Taking The Lead program because of the generous support of The Bachman Foundation.
ANOTHER BIG THANK YOU to Ivey Sumrell who sponsored Rex through the Non-profit, "Foundation For The Carolinas". Did you know you could sponsor any of our horses to help offset the regular care and feeding of our herd? Learn more here.
DID YOU KNOW that we work with schools and local organizations that help kids and adults with various behavioral and developmental challenges? Our "TAKING THE LEAD" program works with small groups to help build critical life skills. You can find out more by selecting "GROUPS" tab here
Our program for 'seasoned citizens' - Silver Stirrups - has been a huge success and is now open to men as well as women! This is for those looking for an opportunity to learn and grow through horseback riding in a group setting. Find out more on our Programs page!
We are excited to announce some new incredible instructors added to our team this year. Meet our new instructors, Erin, Nancy, and a welcome back to Jessica!
We have some new faces at the barn! Well, horse faces that is. Meet Rex, Salty and Gracie! You can read about them on the Our Herd page.
