Volunteers made it happen!
The new centralized location for providing equine-assisted therapy for autistic children and adults provided by the generous people at West Texas Cowboy Church. This location between Midland and Odessa will feature Equine Therapy. Here, you'll soon see why horses are a successful method of reaching children and adults with autism, down syndrome, and other neurodiverse abilities by providing an outdoor experience to use all senses while learning and processing through emotional challenges.
At the Abilities Ranch, our goal is to provide therapeutic riding and life-skill training to empower individuals with disabilities to discover more about themselves and develop skills and confidence that help them progress far beyond preconceived limitations. I'm standing in the new Abilities Ranch centralized location between Midland and Odessa.
Cleaning the stables was the first step to have a clean safe place we will go get the horses and introduce them to their new home. Our other immediate needs will be horse tack, (saddles, blankets, reins, bridles, ect…), a horse trailer, and hay for the horses. Anyone willing to donate any of these items or tax-deductible funds to purchase them would be extremely appreciated.
The Abilities Ranch recognizes the wide spectrum of autistic ability limitations and this place is going to help change that. The Abilities Ranch's motto is to find what they "can do" instead of defining them by what they can’t.”
Please come help be a part of the solution for our amazing friends.
Thank you
