We have funding for Missouri for those diagnosed as disabled and have a Social Security Verification form, and their benefits are less than 15k a year, or can self-pay for anyone, including ones not disabled.
Retreats combining equine activities, therapeutic sessions, and socialization opportunities create a holistic experience for those with disabilities. The combination of therapeutic interventions, recreational experiences, and skill-building opportunities creates a comprehensive approach to supporting the unique needs of adults as they navigate their daily lives.
During the retreats, the participants will be taking care of their equine partner and overcoming challenges they may face on a trail that can transfer into everyday life. The partnership with their horse, some skill-building activities, and a confidence-building environment will allow the participants to heal and build their “I Matter” within themselves to enhance their quality of life.
This unique 2/3-night experience includes 13 available retreats for 3-6 participants each retreat date from May to October. 78 Adults will be chosen for this great opportunity Sign up today. Note: Any adult may attend; if not qualified for the payment programs, self-pay is available at $750 per retreat, minus gas/spending money.
We will see the Ozarks Hills, valleys, and creeks within Angeline Conservation or Castor River Conservation that can only be viewed on horseback. While out on the trails, we will stop at various lookouts, giving us the opportunity to become one with nature and heal the soul.
Pre-requisite: Horse riding must be able-bodied Adults will have lessons onsite of CCTR sessions of riding/driving lessons prior to trip, a doctor’s note and pass a precheck of skills to better prepare them for the retreat. Each participant will have lessons inside the arena at retreats in how to ride/drive, best safe practices, and be comfortable with onsite trails at farms; they are eligible for a retreat. (CCTR & HWHF)
At CCTR events only, adults with no or limited physical disabilities will learn pony miniature cart driving in an enclosed arena, roads through the camp, and accommodations at handicap-accessible cabins/hotels within 1 mile of the event. All other activities will be able to participate. Doctors note clearing for ride and type of physical disability, 7-10 driving lessons. (Approval process to make sure we can accommodate. Many physical challenges we are not equipped to accommodate, ask me.
Participants will experience a lifetime of benefits from the camaraderie that comes from having a shared purpose, which will allow them to better reconnect with themselves, their families, and their communities.
