Miles of Smiles Foundation hasn't added a story.
The Miles of Smiles Foundation operates a
highly successful Equine Assisted Psychotherapy program for veterans
suffering with PTSD. There is no charge to the veteran or their
family. The program at Miles Ranch is expanding its program Equine
Assisted Psychotherapy for treatment of veterans with PTSD at the
Miles Ranch. The Miles Ranch is looking to purchase the Independence
Saddle to better serve the veterans in the program.
The cost of this saddle is $6,500.
So far we have raised $2,500. Please help us raise the remaining
$4,000 for this Class 1 medical device. Be a part of a community
that gives back to those that have served us.
The Independence Saddle is an adaptive saddle with adjustable
and removable headrest, backrest, forearm supports, hand grips,
Peacock Irons, and a Safety Release System.This therapeutic saddle
features a prompt reduction technology that gradually allows more
independent sitting on horseback by veterans with special needs.
Adapting and supporting according to the needs of each veteran, The
Independence saddle, and its prompts allows the veteran with severe
physical challenges to sit safely and independently astride a horse,
while the traditional physical dependency on side walkers is
dramatically decreased.
The Independence saddle offers both safety and versatility, and
is adaptable enough to accommodate riders of varying sizes,
disabilities and/or injuries. Once the veterans's needs are evaluated,
prompts will be determined and provided as needed. Head and back
supports provide head and trunk control. Adjustable forearm supports
stabilize the arm and shoulder girdle, allowing the rider to lean
slightly forward into a functional sitting position. Hip supports
stabilize the pelvic girdle. As the rider gains strength, and goals
are achieved, prompts may be removed.
This saddle is a Class 1 medical device, it provides physical,
occupational, and psychological therapeutic opportunities. The
Independence saddle offers each veteran an immeasurable sense of
success and self-fulfillment, maximizing his or her quality of life.
Your generous gift will help a disabled veteran regain
independence. Please help.
