Down Syndrome Awareness Month

This month is dedicated to raising awareness about Down syndrome, a genetic condition that causes intellectual disability and physical characteristics. It aims to promote understanding, acceptance, and inclusion of individuals with Down syndrome.

Equine Assisted Therapy is beneficial for individuals with Down syndrome by improving balance, coordination, muscle strength, and endurance through the horse's movement.

There's something truly beautiful about therapeutic riding. It's found in quiet moments of trust, courageous first steps, confident smiles, and the incredible bond between horse and rider. Every ride is more than a lesson—it's growth, connection, and hope in motion..

We will never forget. 🇺🇸

Alzheimer's Awareness Month

Alzheimer's disease is a progressive brain disorder causing memory loss and cognitive decline, eventually affecting daily tasks.

Equine-assisted therapy can be beneficial for people with Alzheimer's disease, helping to improve their quality of life, reduce agitation, anxiety, and depressive symptoms, and increase positive social behaviors. Interactions with horses, which are nonjudgmental and intuitive, can promote a greater sense of well-being through activities like grooming and leading, leading to increased joy, social engagement, and relaxation for both the person with dementia and their care partner.

Behind the Ride: Your Questions Answered - Volunteering

"I started volunteering over 4 years ago now. I was nervous at first because I had no previous horse experience, but the staff and other volunteers taught me everything I needed to know. They were all so patient with me and always available to answer any questions I had. My time spent at Great Oak helped me get through my battle with cancer, and I just don't know what I would have done without it!" - Ms. Cheryl
