Helping With Horsepower

Helping With Horsepower Helping with Horsepower™ designs and provides programs that empower, encourage, and inspire.

Helping with Horsepower™, A SpiritHorse Center, is a 501(c)3 Non-Profit Organization founded by land speed Genius world record holder, Laura Klock. Helping with Horsepower™, is to design and implement programs that empower, encourage, and inspire. By creating a community of individuals born or diagnosed with limitations, we create opportunities of purpose, wellbeing and growth. Established in 2010

, Helping with Horsepower launched the now nationally recognized bike rebuild program. With several piolet programs throughout the US, the bike rebuild program serves as an opportunity for at risk youth to transform a neglected motorcycle into something beautiful and functional much like their own lives. In 2015, Helping with Horsepower partnered with Reclamation-Ranch to launch the HWH therapeutic riding program. Utilizing the SpiritHorse International 77 step program, Helping with Horsepower assists individuals with special needs to achieve their goals and full potential through interactions with horses. Therapeutic riding is an organic combination of speech, physical, and relationship-building therapy. Our program builds a variety of skills, Balance and coordination, Flexibility and core muscle strength, Sequencing, Speech and communication, Self-esteem and self-confidence. Several of our therapeutic riding instructors come from a variety of specialties and backgrounds including ASL, LAY counseling, behavioral specialist, EGC methods, and military veterans. In 2019, Helping with Horsepower rolled out the Heroes Helping with Horsepower veterans program. Our goal for the Heroes Helping with Horsepower Equine Therapy Program is to make a difference in the mental and physical health of individuals that have survived trauma, through interaction with our horses. We provide a safe place to feel and address emotions through the human-animal bond. Aligned with the Helping with Horsepower mission, the HHwH program is creating a community of individuals born or diagnosed with limitations, we create opportunities of purpose, wellbeing and growth.

**Welcome to Milestone Ranch and our NEW Therapeutic Riding & Adaptive Horsemanship program!**

We are excited to share that the therapeutic riding program formerly operated through Helping With Horsepower (at Reclamation Ranch in Mitchell) will be starting a new fresh adventure here at **Milestone Ranch, LLC**, located just north of Letcher SD.

This program has been a meaningful part of our community, and we are honored to take the reins to serving current riders, families, volunteers, and new students who are interested in joining.

At Milestone Ranch, our goal is to provide a safe, encouraging, horse-centered environment where riders can grow in confidence, strength, communication, independence, and connection. We believe every rider deserves to feel welcome, supported, and valued.

For our existing students and families, we want you to know that you are important to us. We understand that new things can bring questions, and we are committed to making this change as smooth and positive as possible. Instructors Allison and Gabrielle will continue to lead our programs, they bring a lot of value to the ranch. Our hope is to continue building on the heart of the program while providing a strong future for therapeutic and adaptive horsemanship in our community.

For new students and families, we warmly welcome you to learn more about the program. Whether you are looking for therapeutic riding, adaptive horsemanship, confidence building, connection with horses, or a supportive place to grow, we would love to visit with you.

As the program moves forward under Milestone Ranch, LLC, we will continue offering fee-based services while also working to provide scholarship opportunities when funds are available. Community advertising sponsorships may help support rider scholarships, horse care, equipment, safety needs, and program expenses.

We are aiming to be up and fully running by the 2nd week of August!

We are grateful for the foundation Helping With Horsepower has built, and we look forward to carrying this program into its next chapter at Milestone Ranch.

We wish Crystal the best of everything in her future endeavors and look forward to her visits and continued support.

Thank you for trusting us, supporting us, and allowing us to be part of your rider’s journey.

With gratitude,
Milestone Ranch, LLC
