Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

We improve quality of life through equine-based therapy to physically, mentally and socially/emotionally challenged individuals. Our unique program integrates academic, social and physical skills using the horse as a catalyst.

  • Equine therapy is recognized as one of the more progressive forms of therapy. It combines instruction in traditional horsemanship skills with concepts of physical therapy, occupational therapy and social/emotional therapies to improve the riders in balance, posture, coordination, strength and stamina. Riders also see improvements in areas of sequencing, spatial relationships and auditory short-term knowledge. Social and emotional benefits include improved self confidence, patience, emotional control, interest in the outside world and respect and love for animals and other people. The Equest Center also provides opportunities for senior citizens, military veterans, Gildas Club members, deaf and HOH to ride. We partner with colleges, medical teaching institutions and local high schools for hands-on learning and volunteer opportunities. The Equest Center serves 200 special needs individuals each week assisted by more than 1000 volunteers who served 50,000 hours.

On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
