Join our herd of supporters! YBGR’s Equestrian Program needs boots for the youth to use during Equine Therapy and recreational riding. Recreational riding has been a part of YBGR since the beginning, and a little over 20 years ago, Equine Therapy was added to provide an additional treatment option for children. YBGR uses the EAGALA therapy model to work directly with horses and children to provide healing and support to emotionally disturbed youth. EAGALA helps youth by using their own instincts while engaging horses in various activities or challenges to find solutions to challenges they are facing. Just recently, Equilateral Therapy, a merging of Equine Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, was made available to youth as well. Recreational
riding continues as a fun, relaxing, and rewarding activity. Whether riding on the horse or working on the ground with the animals, kids need to wear boots, and the existing inventory is dwindling. New or used boots can be dropped off or mailed to Yellowstone Foundation/2050 Overland Ave/Billings, MT 59102. Ride into change with us!
