“In 2015, bit-by-bit therapeutic riding center worked with approximately 6,000 special needs children and disabled veterans with the help of the horse. All of the therapeutic services in our "horses for heroes" veteran rehabilitation program has been offered 100% free of charge to our veterans. We provided the following outcome oriented services for all ages: "horses for heroes" disabled veteran rehabilitation program: in partnership with veteran organizations like the miami va, we offer help and therapeutic services to our wounded heroes at absolutely no cost to them and their families. Equine assisted medical therapies: hippotherapy is a physical, occupational, and speech-language therapy treatment strategy that utilizes equine movement as part of an integrated intervention program to achieve functional outcomes. Therapeutic riding lessons: recreational adapted riding lessons for individuals with special needs by certified instructors who have completed specialized disability related training. Typical riding lessons: quality lessons for people without special challenges. Free volunteer riding lessons: given to at risk children in exchange for them participating in out volunteer program. Free student internships: we offered clinical internships to 148 students in 2015 at no charge to them or the various universities. We do this to mentor the next generation of health care professional and give them hands-on experience working with individuals with special needs in equine assisted activities and therapies. Education workshops & training: reduced cost and free workshops given to groups such as at-risk teens, medical professionals, retired and second career minded volunteers. This year our scholarship program had an extensive waiting list for all of our programs. We seek to move children and disabled veterans off of our waiting list and into the program but only with the community's financial support can we accomplish this. We seek to strengthen and expand our board of directors, make facility improvements, and strengthen our community partnerships in order to better serve the people with special needs that come to us for healing.”
