| Desc | 36 NEW PARTICIPANTS WERE ADDED TO OUR THERAPEUTIC RIDING AND DRIVING PROGRAMS IN 2017. A NEW HARNESS FOR OUR THERAPEUTIC DRIVING CART WAS PURCHASED AND IS IN USE. THE NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS SERVED EACH WEEK, AT THE PEAK OF OUR YEAR, HAS INCREASED TO OVER 94 PARTICIPANTS. OUR THERAPEUTIC DRIVING INSTRUCTOR GAVE A PILOT PROGRAM FOR THERAPEUTIC DRIVING IN THE SPRING OF 2017. THE ACTUAL CLASSES WERE BEGUN IN THE FALL OF 2017. SPECIAL EQUESTRIANS HAS NOW OFFICIALLY ADDED THERAPEUTIC DRIVING TO OUR PROGRAM OFFERINGS. THIS NEW PROGRAM HAS ALLOWED US TO SERVE SOME PARTICIPANTS WHO DID NOT QUALIFY FOR THERAPEUTIC RIDING. THERAPEUTIC DRIVING IS ALSO AN ALTERNATIVE EQUESTRIAN SKILL TO OFFER THE PEOPLE ON OUR WAITING LIST. IN 2017, WE BEGAN THE ADDITION OF A TACK ROOM FOR OUR THERAPEUTIC DRIVING PROGRAM. THE EFFORTS WERE BROUGHT TO A TEMPORARY HALT BY HURRICANE IRMA WHEN PART OF THE CARRIAGE BARN ROOF WAS DESTROYED. WE HOPE TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED IN EARLY 2018. SPECIAL EQUESTRIANS BEGAN WORKING TOGETHER WITH CHRIS COOK OF B-C FOUNDATION STATION IN REDDICK, FLORIDA IN 2016. CHRIS IS A HORSE DEVELOPMENT SPECIALIST WHOSE MISSION IS TO HELP THERAPEUTIC RIDING CENTERS USE EFFECTIVE TRAINING METHODS FOR THEIR THERAPEUTIC RIDING HORSES. HE IS PRESENTLY EMBARKING ON A STUDY WITH UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA TO DEVELOP A CURRICULUM IN THERAPEUTIC RIDING HORSE TRAINING FOR PATH, INTL. AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS. WE HAVE STARTED A SERIES OF WORKSHOPS WITH HIM TO BETTER TRAIN OUR HORSES AND VOLUNTEERS FOR THEIR MISSION OF SERVING PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES. WE CONTINUED TO WORK WITH CHRIS IN 2017. THESE WORKSHOPS HAVE HELPED OUR HORSES TO BECOME HAPPIER IN THEIR JOBS AND OUR HORSE LEADER VOLUNTEERS HAVE BECOME MORE SKILLED. THIS TRAINING ULTIMATELY HELPS THE PARTICIPANTS IN THE CLASSES. PRIVATE LESSONS HAVE INCREASED AND ARE GIVEN TO A LIMITED NUMBER OF RIDERS WITH DISABILITIES. WE HAVE ADDED SEMI-PRIVATE LESSONS AS WELL. SOME PRIVATE AND SEMI-PRIVATE LESSONS WERE GIVEN DURING THE MONTH OF AUGUST WHEN THE REGULAR CLASSES ARE NOT OFFERED. SPECIAL EQUESTRIANS HAS ADDED AN ADDITIONAL PAID PATH, INTL. CERTIFIED THERAPEUTIC RIDING INSTRUCTOR TO OUR STAFF. SHE BEGAN TEACHING AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SPRING OF 2017. OUR PARTICIPANTS WHO ARE INTERESTED HAVE BEEN GIVEN MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO DO GROUNDWORK AND HORSE CARE WITH THE HORSES THEY ARE RIDING. THIS INVOLVEMENT HAS GIVEN THEM A MORE WELL-ROUNDED EQUINE ASSISTED EXPERIENCE. RIDERS WHO CANNOT RIDE FOR MEDICAL OR OTHER REASONS HAVE BEEN GIVEN NEW OPPORTUNITIES TO GROOM OUR HORSES AND PARTICIPATE IN UNMOUNTED ACTIVITIES SUCH AS LEADING HORSES AND HORSE CARE. OUR OUTREACH PROGRAM HAS ALLOWED US TO NOT ONLY GET THE WORD OUT ABOUT OUR PROGRAM, BUT IT HAS BECOME A TEACHING TOOL AS WELL. DURING AN OUTREACH VISIT, THE PARTICIPANTS LEARN ABOUT HORSES, THEIR FOOD, RIDING EQUIPMENT AND GROOMING EQUIPMENT, IN ADDITION TO HEARING A SHORT TALK ABOUT OUR THERAPEUTIC RIDING PROGRAM. WE ALSO LET THEM PET THE TWO HORSES, BRUSH THE HORSES AND, IN SOME PLACES, READ TO THE HORSES. WE HAVE CONTINUED TO ADD NEW AGENCIES AND SCHOOLS TO OUR OUTREACH EFFORTS. AS OF DECEMBER 2017, WE HAVE ENRICHED THE LIVES OF A TOTAL OF 1145 CHILDREN AND ADULTS WITH OUR OUTREACH PROGRAM, WHICH BEGAN IN MARCH OF 2012. THIS NUMBER FOR 2017 IS 299 IN 12 VISITS. OUR OUTREACH TEAM OF PET PARTNER ANIMAL HANDLERS MUST BE EVALUATED EVERY TWO YEARS. WE HAVE 6 EQUINE/HANDLER TEAMS, AT THIS TIME. WE WILL BE GOING THROUGH OUR NEXT EVALUATION IN EARLY 2018. DURING THIS YEAR, ADDITIONAL VOLUNTEER ORIENTATIONS WERE ADDED TO INCREASE OUR VOLUNTEER NUMBERS. IN 2017, BACKGROUND CHECKS WERE CONTINUED FOR NEW VOLUNTEERS. THIS PROCESS WAS INSTITUTED IN 2015 AND HAS BEEN A VERY SUCCESSFUL ADDITION TO OUR VOLUNTEER ORIENTATION AND REQUIREMENTS. ONE OF OUR VOLUNTEERS WHO IS AN OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST, COMPLETED THE PROCESS OF BECOMING A CERTIFIED THERAPIST IN HIPPOTHERAPY. THE TERM HIPPOTHERAPY REFERS TO HOW OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY, PHYSICAL THERAPY, AND SPEECH-LANGUAGE PATHOLOGY PROFESSIONALS USE EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE AND CLINICAL REASONING IN THE PURPOSEFUL MANIPULATION OF EQUINE MOVEMENT TO ENGAGE SENSORY, NEUROMOTOR, AND COGNITIVE SYSTEMS TO ACHIEVE FUNCTIONAL OUTCOMES IN A CLIENT. WE HAVE PURCHASED EQUIPMENT AND EVALUATION TOOLS FOR THESE OT SERVICES AND WE ARE BUILDING A THERAPY EVALUATION ROOM AT OUR CENTER. WE HOPE TO HAVE OUR FIRST HIPPOTHERAPY CLIENTS SOON. THE NAME OF OUR THERAPIST'S SERVICE IS STRIDES OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY SERVICES. INFORMATION CAN BE FOUND AT: HTTP://WWW.STRIDESOT.COM. IN 2017, TWO OF OUR VOLUNTEERS BECAME CERTIFIED AS EQUINE SPECIALISTS IN MENTAL HEALTH AND LEARNING. THE ESMHL CAN SERVE MANY FUNCTIONS AT A THERAPEUTIC RIDING CENTER. ONE OF THEIR ROLES IS TO ENSURE SAFETY AND WELFARE OF THE EQUINES WHO WORK AT THE CENTER. THEY CAN ALSO TEACH EQUINE ASSISTED LEARNING CLASSES WHICH ARE UNMOUNTED. MOST CENTERS SUCH AS OURS HAVE AN ESMHL ON STAFF AND IT IS A WONDERFUL ACHIEVEMENT TO ADD THIS POSITION TO OUR STAFF. WE CONTINUE TO SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT OUR UNMOUNTED VETERAN'S PROGRAM, WHICH IS READY TO BEGIN. IT IS AN EQUINE ASSISTED LEARNING PROGRAM WHICH WILL BE TAUGHT BY TWO OF OUR PATH CERTIFIED INSTRUCTORS WHO TOOK A PATH INTERNATIONAL SPONSORED COURSE IN EQUINE SERVICES FOR HEROES. SPECIAL EQUESTRIANS HAS MET WITH JEREMY GENTILE OF MISSION UNITED AND WE HAVE LISTED THIS SERVICE IN UNITED WAY 211. A VETERAN'S PROGRAM BROCHURE WAS CREATED BY FGCU STUDENTS AND IT IS BEING DISTRIBUTED AROUND OUR COMMUNITY AND AT LOCAL VET CENTERS. IN LATE 2016, A SECOND DRILL TEAM WAS FORMED, CALLED THE MIRACLE OUTLAWS. THIS DRILL TEAM IS COACHED BY OUR SATURDAY INSTRUCTOR, AMY OXENDINE. THESE RIDERS ARE SO EMPOWERED TO BE A PART OF THIS TEAM. IN 2017, OUR TWO DRILL TEAMS, SPIRIT RIDERS AND MIRACLE OUTLAWS, ENTERED A DRILL TEAM HORSE SHOW HELD LOCALLY FOR ABLE BODIED RIDERS. BOTH TEAMS WON FIRST PLACE IN THEIR DIVISION, SHOWING THAT PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES CAN BECOME EMPOWERED THROUGH THE PROVISION OF HORSEBACK RIDING. THREE HORSES WERE RETIRED IN 2016 AND THEY HAD TO BE REPLACED BY WELL TRAINED HORSES. IN 2017, TWO AMAZING HORSES WERE PURCHASED BY SPECIAL EQUESTRIANS WITH A VERY SPECIAL UNITED WAY FUNDING GIFT. THESE ARE HORSES THAT WE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO AFFORD OTHERWISE. THESE NEW EQUINE PARTNERS WERE SO NEEDED AT THIS TIME WHEN WE ARE WORKING TO EXPAND SERVICES AND CLASSES. A THIRD HORSE WAS ALSO PURCHASED IN THE FALL OF 2017. IN 2017, A NEW FENCE WAS BUILT ON THE ENTIRE SOUTH SIDE OF OUR PROPERTY. THE OLD FENCE, WHICH DID NOT BELONG TO SPECIAL EQUESTRIANS, WAS PARTIALLY TAKEN DOWN BY HURRICANE IRMA AND WAS NOT VIABLE ANY LONGER. WITH THIS NEW FENCE, OUR HORSES HAVE THEIR PASTURES BACK AND THEY ARE IN A SAFER AREA. | Desc |

| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A | SKILL TO OFFER THE PEOPLE ON OUR WAITING LIST. IN 2017, WE BEGAN THE ADDITION OF A TACK ROOM FOR OUR THERAPEUTIC DRIVING PROGRAM. THE EFFORTS WERE BROUGHT TO A TEMPORARY HALT BY HURRICANE IRMA WHEN PART OF THE CARRIAGE BARN ROOF WAS DESTROYED. WE HOPE TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED IN EARLY 2018. SPECIAL EQUESTRIANS BEGAN WORKING TOGETHER WITH CHRIS COOK OF B-C FOUNDATION STATION IN REDDICK, FLORIDA IN 2016. CHRIS IS A HORSE DEVELOPMENT SPECIALIST WHOSE MISSION IS TO HELP THERAPEUTIC RIDING CENTERS USE EFFECTIVE TRAINING METHODS FOR THEIR THERAPEUTIC RIDING HORSES. HE IS PRESENTLY EMBARKING ON A STUDY WITH UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA TO DEVELOP A CURRICULUM IN THERAPEUTIC RIDING HORSE TRAINING FOR PATH, INTL. AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS. WE HAVE STARTED A SERIES OF WORKSHOPS WITH HIM TO BETTER TRAIN OUR HORSES AND VOLUNTEERS FOR THEIR MISSION OF SERVING PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES. WE CONTINUED TO WORK WITH CHRIS IN 2017. THESE WORKSHOPS HAVE HELPED OUR HORSES TO BECOME HAPPIER IN THEIR JOBS AND OUR HORSE LEADER VOLUNTEERS HAVE BECOME MORE SKILLED. THIS TRAINING ULTIMATELY HELPS THE PARTICIPANTS IN THE CLASSES. PRIVATE LESSONS HAVE INCREASED AND ARE GIVEN TO A LIMITED NUMBER OF RIDERS WITH DISABILITIES. WE HAVE ADDED SEMI-PRIVATE LESSONS AS WELL. SOME PRIVATE AND SEMI-PRIVATE LESSONS WERE GIVEN DURING THE MONTH OF AUGUST WHEN THE REGULAR CLASSES ARE NOT OFFERED. SPECIAL EQUESTRIANS HAS ADDED AN ADDITIONAL PAID PATH, INTL. CERTIFIED THERAPEUTIC RIDING INSTRUCTOR TO OUR STAFF. SHE BEGAN TEACHING AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SPRING OF 2017. OUR PARTICIPANTS WHO ARE INTERESTED HAVE BEEN GIVEN MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO DO GROUNDWORK AND HORSE CARE WITH THE HORSES THEY ARE RIDING. THIS INVOLVEMENT HAS GIVEN THEM A MORE WELL-ROUNDED EQUINE ASSISTED EXPERIENCE. RIDERS WHO CANNOT RIDE FOR MEDICAL OR OTHER REASONS HAVE BEEN GIVEN NEW OPPORTUNITIES TO GROOM OUR HORSES AND PARTICIPATE IN UNMOUNTED ACTIVITIES SUCH AS LEADING HORSES AND HORSE CARE. OUR OUTREACH PROGRAM HAS ALLOWED US TO NOT ONLY GET THE WORD OUT ABOUT OUR PROGRAM, BUT IT HAS BECOME A TEACHING TOOL AS WELL. DURING AN OUTREACH VISIT, THE PARTICIPANTS LEARN ABOUT HORSES, THEIR FOOD, RIDING EQUIPMENT AND GROOMING EQUIPMENT, IN ADDITION TO HEARING A SHORT TALK ABOUT OUR THERAPEUTIC RIDING PROGRAM. WE ALSO LET THEM PET THE TWO HORSES, BRUSH THE HORSES AND, IN SOME PLACES, READ TO THE HORSES. WE HAVE CONTINUED TO ADD NEW AGENCIES AND SCHOOLS TO OUR OUTREACH EFFORTS. AS OF DECEMBER 2017, WE HAVE ENRICHED THE LIVES OF A TOTAL OF 1145 CHILDREN AND ADULTS WITH OUR OUTREACH PROGRAM, WHICH BEGAN IN MARCH OF 2012. THIS NUMBER FOR 2017 IS 299 IN 12 VISITS. OUR OUTREACH TEAM OF PET PARTNER ANIMAL HANDLERS MUST BE EVALUATED EVERY TWO YEARS. WE HAVE 6 EQUINE/HANDLER TEAMS, AT THIS TIME. WE WILL BE GOING THROUGH OUR NEXT EVALUATION IN EARLY 2018. DURING THIS YEAR, ADDITIONAL VOLUNTEER ORIENTATIONS WERE ADDED TO INCREASE OUR VOLUNTEER NUMBERS. IN 2017, BACKGROUND CHECKS WERE CONTINUED FOR NEW VOLUNTEERS. THIS PROCESS WAS INSTITUTED IN 2015 AND HAS BEEN A VERY SUCCESSFUL ADDITION TO OUR VOLUNTEER ORIENTATION AND REQUIREMENTS. ONE OF OUR VOLUNTEERS WHO IS AN OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST, COMPLETED THE PROCESS OF BECOMING A CERTIFIED THERAPIST IN HIPPOTHERAPY. THE TERM HIPPOTHERAPY REFERS TO HOW OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY, PHYSICAL THERAPY, AND SPEECH-LANGUAGE PATHOLOGY PROFESSIONALS USE EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE AND CLINICAL REASONING IN THE PURPOSEFUL MANIPULATION OF EQUINE MOVEMENT TO ENGAGE SENSORY, NEUROMOTOR, AND COGNITIVE SYSTEMS TO ACHIEVE FUNCTIONAL OUTCOMES IN A CLIENT. WE HAVE PURCHASED EQUIPMENT AND EVALUATION TOOLS FOR THESE OT SERVICES AND WE ARE BUILDING A THERAPY EVALUATION ROOM AT OUR CENTER. WE HOPE TO HAVE OUR FIRST HIPPOTHERAPY CLIENTS SOON. THE NAME OF OUR THERAPIST'S SERVICE IS STRIDES OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY SERVICES. INFORMATION CAN BE FOUND AT: HTTP://WWW.STRIDESOT.COM. IN 2017, TWO OF OUR VOLUNTEERS BECAME CERTIFIED AS EQUINE SPECIALISTS IN MENTAL HEALTH AND LEARNING. THE ESMHL CAN SERVE MANY FUNCTIONS AT A THERAPEUTIC RIDING CENTER. ONE OF THEIR ROLES IS TO ENSURE SAFETY AND WELFARE OF THE EQUINES WHO WORK AT THE CENTER. THEY CAN ALSO TEACH EQUINE ASSISTED LEARNING CLASSES WHICH ARE UNMOUNTED. MOST CENTERS SUCH AS OURS HAVE AN ESMHL ON STAFF AND IT IS A WONDERFUL ACHIEVEMENT TO ADD THIS POSITION TO OUR STAFF. WE CONTINUE TO SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT OUR UNMOUNTED VETERAN'S PROGRAM, WHICH IS READY TO BEGIN. IT IS AN EQUINE ASSISTED LEARNING PROGRAM WHICH WILL BE TAUGHT BY TWO OF OUR PATH CERTIFIED INSTRUCTORS WHO TOOK A PATH INTERNATIONAL SPONSORED COURSE IN EQUINE SERVICES FOR HEROES. SPECIAL EQUESTRIANS HAS MET WITH JEREMY GENTILE OF MISSION UNITED AND WE HAVE LISTED THIS SERVICE IN UNITED WAY 211. A VETERAN'S PROGRAM BROCHURE WAS CREATED BY FGCU STUDENTS AND IT IS BEING DISTRIBUTED AROUND OUR COMMUNITY AND AT LOCAL VET CENTERS. IN LATE 2016, A SECOND DRILL TEAM WAS FORMED, CALLED THE MIRACLE OUTLAWS. THIS DRILL TEAM IS COACHED BY OUR SATURDAY INSTRUCTOR, AMY OXENDINE. THESE RIDERS ARE SO EMPOWERED TO BE A PART OF THIS TEAM. IN 2017, OUR TWO DRILL TEAMS, SPIRIT RIDERS AND MIRACLE OUTLAWS, ENTERED A DRILL TEAM HORSE SHOW HELD LOCALLY FOR ABLE BODIED RIDERS. BOTH TEAMS WON FIRST PLACE IN THEIR DIVISION, SHOWING THAT PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES CAN BECOME EMPOWERED THROUGH THE PROVISION OF HORSEBACK RIDING. THREE HORSES WERE RETIRED IN 2016 AND THEY HAD TO BE REPLACED BY WELL TRAINED HORSES. IN 2017, TWO AMAZING HORSES WERE PURCHASED BY SPECIAL EQUESTRIANS WITH A VERY SPECIAL UNITED WAY FUNDING GIFT. THESE ARE HORSES THAT WE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO AFFORD OTHERWISE. THESE NEW EQUINE PARTNERS WERE SO NEEDED AT THIS TIME WHEN WE ARE WORKING TO EXPAND SERVICES AND CLASSES. A THIRD HORSE WAS ALSO PURCHASED IN THE FALL OF 2017. IN 2017, A NEW FENCE WAS BUILT ON THE ENTIRE SOUTH SIDE OF OUR PROPERTY. THE OLD FENCE, WHICH DID NOT BELONG TO SPECIAL EQUESTRIANS, WAS PARTIALLY TAKEN DOWN BY HURRICANE IRMA AND WAS NOT VIABLE ANY LONGER. WITH THIS NEW FENCE, OUR HORSES HAVE THEIR PASTURES BACK AND THEY ARE IN A SAFER AREA. |
