According to Equest CEO Myrshem George,
“My wish this holiday season is that the community will support our mission at Equest, to enhance the quality of life for children and adults with diverse needs by partnering with horses to bring hope and healing through equine assisted services. In this season of friends, family and giving, we encourage our community to partner with Equest, by supporting our Wish List or including us in your year-end contribution plans.”
“Equest’s Amazon Wish List features necessities to ensure that the remarkable herd of therapy horses remain in tip top shape, to further provide support for the many individuals served annually. You will find items like equine shampoo, muck tubs, lead ropes, horse leggings, gift cards and much more, geared to keep the herd in pristine condition.
“In addition to helping the herd through the Amazon Wish List, the community is encouraged to also consider making a year-end impactful donation to support the year-long therapeutic programs at Equest, serving individuals with diverse needs. Founded in 1981, Equest provides equine assisted learning, therapies and counseling to children and adults with physical, cognitive, sensory, coping and learning disabilities. The services provided include physical and occupational therapy, equine facilitated counseling and equine assisted learning, therapeutic carriage driving, therapeutic horsemanship, and competition. With the help of 34 therapy horses, nine instructors, five physical and occupational therapists, five counselors, and 700 volunteers, lives are changed for more than 2,000 individuals served annually.
“With your support to Equest, we can continue doing the great work with our clients and making the holiday season memorable.
“Thank you and Happy Holidays!”
