Charity Spotlight: Manes & Motions

Manes & Motions is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to improving the well-being of children and adults living with physical, cognitive and/or emotional special needs through the benefits of equine-assisted activities.

Riding a horse gives you freedom and empowerment through movement. A horse can be a powerful motivator in reviewing or reinforcing many behavioral, physical, mental, social and emotional goals. PATH Intl. (Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International) instructors and volunteers work with those ages four and above with varying degrees of cognitive, physical, behavioral, psychological and sensory disabilities. Services are available to participants with special needs including, but not limited to: autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, stroke or traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis and others.
