Horses Needed!
Horsing around? Not at YBGR!
Between Equine Therapy and recreational riding, YBGR’s twelve horses see almost daily use and are valued members of the YBGR treatment team. Just recently, two of these beloved equine friends (Rusty, pictured with Equine Specialist Mackenzie Martinson) and TC (Touch of Class) had to be retired due to their advancing age, leaving the program short two horses.
Recreational riding has been offered at YBGR since its inception in 1957, and Equine Therapy was added as an available therapy over 20 years ago. YBGR currently uses the EAGALA therapy model to provide healing and support to emotionally disturbed youth. By using their own instincts and engaging the horses in various activities or challenges, youth work with both their equine and human therapist to draw parallels to their own challenges and find solutions to those challenges they are facing in their young lives.
We’re looking for the right horse to purchase, but donations are always welcome. If you think you might have an animal that would be a good fit for the kids, please contact the Foundation at info@yellowstonefoundation.org or 406.656.8772 and ask for Abigail or Kristi.
