Our Mission:
To Assist Individuals with Special Needs in Reaching their Full
Potential through Interaction with Horses
|
We are unique in that SpiritHorse is the only center in America that provides all private therapeutic horseback riding services free to people with disabilities, children who are victims of abuse, at-risk-youth, youth after drug-rehab and battered women. We currently serve over 400 children and adults FREE OF CHARGE at our Corinth, Texas facilities each week, and we have 83 children on our waiting list, and serve another 1600 at our 31 licensed centers worldwide, more than any center in the world. Three hundred of these children have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.
In eight years of operation, as the result of our research and development and the faithful application of our methods by our certified instructors, we have heard 64 children speak the first word of their lives, helped 48 children walk their first steps to reach their ponies, and seen 38 children sit up for the first time. A study by a leading medical school showed that we moved 24 severely autistic children to mild autism and one to non-autistic in just six months of intervention with our research-based, award-winning methods.
Please support our cause!
Our most immediate need is raising money to sustain our free programs. You can make a difference by making a donation now through any of our giving programs. All grandparents, aunts, uncles, relatives and friends, please give for the children you love.
