UpReach Therapeutic Equestrian Center's Mission Statement: UpReach Therapeutic Equestrian Center, Inc. is dedicated to inspiring hope, fostering independence, and improving the physical, emotional, and psychological well-being of individuals with and without disabilities by partnering with the power of the horse.History: UpReach Therapeutic Equestrian Center, Inc. was founded in 1992 by Edith "Edie" Loeb-Tomasko as UpReach Therapeutic Riding Center, Inc. The property, once known as Brindle Ledge Farm, belonged to Nackey S. Loeb and her daughter, Edie who owned, bred, and trained thoroughbreds. Therapeutic riding lessons began with 2 participants, a few volunteers, and one borrowed horse. Current Programs and Services: UpReach Therapeutic Equestrian Center serves individuals with a wide range of physical, emotional, and psychological abilities since 1992 through year-round, equine-assisted activities and therapies, including therapeutic riding, therapeutic driving, equine-assisted learning, equine-facilitated mental health, and hippotherapy. Also, UpReach has become a training facility for continuing professional education for individuals in the equine-assisted activities and therapies, mental health, and healthcare industries. Most participants have varying degrees of cognitive, physical, behavioral, psychological, and sensory challenges. Some of these include autism spectrum disorders, Down syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, intellectual and learning disabilities, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, PTSD, traumatic brain injury, and sensory integration processing disorders. Through our unmounted equine programs, we also support youth, families, and military veterans who have been through a tragic loss, high-conflict divorce, physical or mental abuse, suicide, PTSD, substance abuse, and bullying.
