About us
Who we are:
Beyond Boundaries is a non-profit therapy center that utilizes horses as a therapy tool to increase specific motor, sensory, speech, and behavior/social responses. By non-profit, we mean that we operate primarily on a volunteer base with only one full-time paid employee. The ability to offer these one-of-a-kind therapy options in this way could not happen without the dedication and pure heart of so many. Beyond Boundaries is a place where individuals with disabilities and their families can create strong animal and human bonds and experience overwhelming therapy success.
What we do:
Our Story:
We were founded in 2003 and gained our non-profit status in 2004. We were founded to provide specialized "hippotherapy" to children in need. Hippotherapy is simply, treatment with the use of horses. Under the supervision of a Certified Physical, Occupational or Speech Hippotherapist and a Therapeutic Riding Instructor, the horse is used as a tool to induce medically relevant changes. They are using the horse to make improvements with the child, not just teaching them a skill. We also offer Therapeutic Riding, which teaches a child with a disability how to ride a horse independently with modifications under the direction of a Therapeutic Riding Instructor. We are pursuing efforts to become a Nationally Recognized Research Center for Hippotherapy services.
