Since 1972 Mane Stream has provided therapy services and adaptive horseback riding for children and adults with special needs. In 2019 we served 52 clients with 1,005 visits to our occupational and physical therapists,speech language pathologists or our mental health counselor. Our medical treatment program provides intensive one-on-one therapy sessions with a licensed therapist utilizing the movement of the horse as a treatment strategy. The unique combination of an on-site clinic and the use of the horse provides a one of a kind therapy setting.We are grateful to the many volunteers who make our programs possible. During 2019, over 250 volunteers provided 8,852 hours of assistance for our programs. Of those hours, 2,699 was spent in direct service to our therapy services clients.
Operation:Take the Reins (OTTR) and Horses for Healing (H4H)- OTTR provides therapy services and groundwork activities for veterans and H4H combines riding lessons and grooming/groundwork for individuals living with, recovering from and living life after cancer. Through our OTTR program we served 4 veterans over 10 weekly sessions. H4H ran for two 6-week sessions and served 4 people. We extended our H4H program in 2019, created H4H 2.0 for participants who want to continue with their lessons. Seven individuals participated in H4H 2.0. Both programs utilize horses as a way to build trust, strengthen connections, and empower participants to explore their own feelings and emotions creating pathways for healing. 166 volunteer hours were contributed for H4H and OTTR does not use volunteers.
