Please join us in congratulating and bidding a temporary farewell to our amazing program director Dr. Erika Berg. Erika has received the Fulbright US Scholar award and will spend the Spring Semester teaching and studying in Iceland!
Erika will work with faculty and students at Hólar University to develop a global undergraduate and graduate curriculum in equine-assisted services. She also plans to establish research connections and investigate the unique attributes of the Icelandic horse for this type of work.
We are so proud of Erika for this outstanding accomplishment and believe that she is the perfect person to spread the word and educate others about the Equine Assisted Services industry!
Erika will be gone for the Spring Semester, but programming is still running here at Bison Strides.
We cannot wait to hear about the adventures Erika is having in Iceland.
Congratulations Erika!

We are continuing the celebration of our nine award winners! We’re thrilled to congratulate Jaleen Pieper of Heartland Equine Therapeutic Riding Academy (HETRA) on being named this year’s PATH Intl. Adult Equestrian of the Year!

Here’s more about Jaleen:
“Since starting, her anxiety has decreased, social skills have improved and confidence in herself has grown immensely. Because of this, this participant has been able to successfully work a part-time job involving customer service and has started attending college, where she is successfully pursuing a degree in architecture.”

Congratulations to Jaleen and everyone at Heartland Equine Therapeutic Riding Academy (HETRA) for the great work you all do!
