BEAMING: Building Equine Assisted Mobility Into New Growth
At BEAMING, we transform lives through equine partnerships. Through interaction and connection with horses, our program participants are able to learn, heal and grow, empowering them to improve their physical, mental and emotional health. We embrace diversity, we promote inclusion and we celebrate those with diverse abilities. The BEAMING
Ranch is a safe, nonjudgmental community gathering space where all are welcome. Our programs include Saddle Up for Success (individual lessons), Dragons in Flight (intermediate lessons) and Partners in Riding (a partnership with local school districts) for children with physical, cognitive and/or emotional disabilities; Pony Power Academy children's literacy program; LAUNCH (group classes) for troubled and hurting teens; Horses, Hearts & Heroes for veterans; RideStrong for those affected by trauma; Riding in the Moment, a program for adults with early- to moderate-onset dementia and their caregivers, and Steady Strides for Parkinson's, for those with Parkinson's Disease and their caregivers. In addition, we offer regular Equine-Assisted Memory Cafes, which invite seniors with memory loss and their caregivers to improve their quality of life by experiencing the benefits of equine-assisted services. We also hold two annual camps (two sessions each), Hold Your Horses Teen Camp and Autism Camp, and also offer CANTER, a Teen Arts/Mentoring Program. BEAMING was founded in 2004 and is a member of the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship (PATH) International.
