Open Stable Foundation

Equine Assisted Therapy & Learning

MISSION AND VISION

Stable Equine Assisted Therapy and Learning (Stable) is an equine assisted services organization with the mission of strengthening the healing connection between horses and humans who have unique needs or life altering circumstances.

The Open Stable Foundation (the Foundation), Stable’s 501(c)(3) not-for-profit arm, is dedicated to raising financial support to enhance Stable’s ability to provide equine assisted services and increase access to these programs to as many people as possible–regardless of their socio-economic background or circumstances.

We envision a world in which all people with unique challenges or life altering circumstances have the opportunity to be enriched and uplifted through partnership with horses.

HOW WE ACCOMPLISH OUR MISSION

The Foundation funds scholarships and subsidies to help make it possible for children, youth and adults with limited means to receive Stable’s equine assisted therapy and learning programs. The Foundation also funds enhancements to these programs by purchasing horses, upgrading facilities, engaging and training volunteers and staff, and obtaining other resources needed to support Stable’s important work.

We believe in the healing power of horses.

At Stable, we are dedicated to strengthening the healing connection between horses and humans with unique challenges or life altering circumstances, so they can lead healthy, productive and fulfilling lives.

Through our equine assisted therapy and learning programs, we warmly welcome people from all backgrounds who face a broad range of diagnoses and challenging situations that include learning or developmental disabilities, autism, physical impairments or injuries, PTSD, Traumatic Brain Injury, cancer and stroke among others. We embrace people in just about any challenging situation, partner them with a horse, and customize the program for each person to meet their unique goals.

Research shows what we already know: a supportive partnership between horses and humans helps people and enhances their lives. It improves strength, balance, mobility and coordination, reduces anxiety, regulates emotions, enhances communication skills, improves executive functioning and builds confidence and autonomy, among many other benefits.

The benefits of our services are powerful. We believe any person in need should have the opportunity to experience a healing partnership with a horse, and that lack of resources should never be a barrier to participation. With this vision in mind, we founded the Open Stable Foundation, a giving fund that enhances our ability to provide Stable’s programs and make them accessible to as many people as possible, regardless of their socio-economic background or circumstances.

Your donation to the Foundation will help ensure that all people with unique challenges or life altering circumstances can be enriched and uplifted through partnership with horses.
