Overview

Mission

To provide equine therapy and personal development for those that may be underprivileged, at-risk, or special needs and desires to grow.

What it reported doing in 2024

Equine assisted psychotherapy (eap) and equine assisted learning (eal) make up a powerful and effective approach that has an incredible impact on individuals, youth, and families. Eap is an experiential process (experiencing change by doing). It is a collaborative effort with a treatment team of a licensed therapist, an equine specialist, and a horse. The program addresses a variety of mental health and human development needs.

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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
