Equestrian Stylist’s official charity, Give Back for Special Equestrians, is a part of the Give Miami Day event where a percentage of all donations are being matched by the Miami Foundation. Give Back for Special Equestrians is a nonprofit organization that sponsors many different equestrian therapeutic riding and programs for adults and children with disabilities. As riders, many of us truly understand the incredible bonds we build with our horses both on the ground and in the saddle. Horses and humans develop strong relationships that promote mind and body healing, balance, and emotional wellbeing.
It has been clinically documented that being around horses helps us stay calm and focused when we are around horses. Horses are naturally empathetic and they can sense our feelings. The use of animals as therapy dates back go the Greeks in 600BC, and French physician Cassaign concluded in 1875 that equine therapy helped certain neurological disorders.
We encourage our friends and followers to donate to Give Back for Special Equestrians today for Give Miami Day to help support the horsepower that heals with equine therapy. It’s the best gift to give during the season of giving, and we couldn’t be more proud of a charity so close to our hearts.
