Great Strides
Our Mission
To promote emotional healing and growth in partnership with horses.
What we do...
Great Strides offers equine facilitated psychotherapy, therapeutic horsemanship and equine facilitated learning. Through specially designed interactive experiences that promote emotional healing, we build confidence, improve social skills, and help clients make positive changes in their lives. Our farm environment provides a unique setting enabling clients to address treatment issues on many different experiential levels that they might not ordinarily access in a therapists office.We assess clients needs and then develop an individualized treatment plan. We evaluate progress toward goals on an ongoing basis. These goals may be emotional, behavioral, social, mental, or spiritual in nature. Facilitating activities may be done while mounted on the horse, unmounted, or may not include the horse at all, depending on the clients needs. We offer individual and small-group therapy settings.

Great Strides Stunned by 150% Insurance Increase Out of the Blue
Our insurance provider for Workman's Compensation, IWIF (Injured Workers Insurance Fund) a virtual monopoly in our area, recently stunned us with a bill for a $5,000 increase in our coverage - a 150% increase. This rude surprise came out of the blue and while we have appealed the decision on the facts and complete lack of reasonableness we had to pay upfront or be ruled out of compliance with employment laws. This has blown a significant hole in our budget, late in the year, and may well impact our ability to serve clients if that gap is not closed. This is a 2 month appeal to all of our friends and supporters to help us fight this unreasonable rise in our rates. Your help will make sure that this rude surprise doesn't impact client services, horse care or other critical budget items while we work to fight this insurance Goliath. Help the David in this fight - in this case Linus (an appaloosa pony and co-founder of the agency) and the herd - to show the big, bad insurance companies that they can't treat us like this and get away with it. Strike a blow for fairness and health - please contribute now. The herd can't wait and you can make the critical difference. Please visit www.GreatStrides.org to donate now. Thanks, Brad & Terry Lewis, Human Founders Linus, Equine Founder The Great Strides Herd www.GreatStrides.org |
