Overview
Mission
GRIT Therapeutic Horsemanship teaches therapeutic and adaptive horsemanship and riding to kids, adolescents, and adults of all ability levels, from significant special needs to able bodied and neurotypical. Approximately 85% of our clients have a diagnosed disability. Some of the clients we serve are diagnosed with disorders such as HAAD-S, Autism, ADHD, PTSD, Visual Impairment, Auditory Impairment, Paralysis, CPID, Genetic Abnormalities, Spina Bifida, etc. Our program teaches clients how to catch, groom, tack, and ride horses.
What it reported doing in 2025
GRIT's main program is a therapeutic horsemanship program in which we provide adaptive riding lessons that include groundwork to kids, adolescents, and adults of all ability levels, including those with significant special needs. This is a year round program and we see clients both at GRIT's facility and at our local school district (Tyler ISD) school for special needs. This is a school for students aged 4-22 that cannot be mainstreamed due to the severity of their disabilities. On average, we provide therapeutic horsemanship services for about 40 clients/week and are on a wait list.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 90% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and expenses are high relative to revenue.
