Mission

To provide equine therapy to physically, emotionally and mentally handicapped individuals

Notes from the nonprofit

Horse Healing is a small but growing non-profit organization that offers Equine-assisted Therapy to individuals and small groups serving children, youth and adults with mental, emotional and physical challenges. Horse Healing believes not only in Equine-assisted Therapy but in giving back to our community. We host programs such as Christmas on the Farm which brings under-privileged children to our facility to experience the joy and wonder of farm animals and farm life. Our facility is open for use by groups such as 4H, Boy/Girl Scouts and Special Olympics. We offer our services out in the community for carriage or pony rides to help other non-profit groups. We are always looking to upgrade and expand our services and any financial donations are greatly appreciated.

Goals & Strategy

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

1. Our goal is to provide Equine-assisted Therapy to mentally, emotionally and physically challenged individuals.
2. We have a new goal for 2023, to offer group therapy to individuals with substance abuse issues currently enrolled in a medication assisted treatment program.
3. We have goal of giving back to our local community through programs such as Christmas on the Farm which provides underprivileged children the opportunity to experience the joy and wonder of farm animals and activities.
We allow other non-profit organizations such as 4H, Girl/Boy Scouts and Special Olympics to use our facilities to enhance their programs.

1. We partner with our local community mental health facility as well as individual practitioners in our community to offer our services. We accept most major insurance plans including Tricare and Medicaid, have a fee scale for private pay individuals and seek funds for scholarships for those unable to afford therapy.
2. We have a contract with a federally funded treatment program to offer Equine-assisted Therapy to those recovering from drug addiction.
3. We are in contact with our local non-profit organizations to make sure they are aware that our services and facilities are open for their use.

Data
  • We analyze disaggregated data and root causes of race disparities that impact the organization's programs, portfolios, and the populations served.
  • We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
  • We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
  • We disaggregate data by demographics, including race, in every policy and program measured.
  • We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
Policies and processes
  • We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
  • We have a promotion process that anticipates and mitigates implicit and explicit biases about people of color serving in leadership positions.
  • We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
  • We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
  • We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
  • We measure and then disaggregate job satisfaction and retention data by race, function, level, and/or team.
  • We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
