Our model connects horsemanship with life skills in a safety-first environment. This adaptive program includes lessons in basic riding, dressage, western and jumping. We served 90-125 clients per week, about 50 percent of whom were children, and 3 percent of whom were Veterans. Approximately 70 percent of our clients self-identify as having a physical, cognitive, or emotional diagnosis. In our Equestrian Vaulting Program, clients of all abilities learn how to combine gymnastics and dance in partnership while atop a moving horse. We accentuate partnership with the horse, teammates, longueur, and coach. We served 20-30 clients a week, 95% of whom were children. Approximately, 50 percent of these clients self-identify as having a diagnosis.Weekly sessions are held year round, with the exception of 1 or 2 weeks of break at the end of each quarterly session.Pandemic ResponseAll programs were shut down from 3/13/2020 through 5/31/2020 due to concerns of spreading the SARS-2/COVID-19 pandemic. We were able to open to limited clients beginning on 6/1/2020, but it was a very slow, careful ramp up and we never returned to full capacity in 2020. 243844 159543 Clinical Services (Rehabilitative Services and Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy)Our Rehabilitative Services (Hippotherapy) Program is therapy for people with physical and developmental challenges. Our licensed and highly trained therapists provide Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Speech and Language Pathology.

We served 25-30 clients each week, 90 percent of whom were children. We also partnered with Providence to provide Occupational Therapy to 6 individuals.Our Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy (EFP) is therapy for personal growth and treatment for those with mental health diagnoses. Sessions are available for adults, adolescents, and children, which can take place in an individual, family, or group therapy setting. We served 18-23 clients per week, about 50 percent of whom were children. We served 1 veteran in this program. A sub program of our EFP program is our Mentoring Program. Youth between the ages of 6 and 18 who are in the foster system are paired with trained mentors and horses that they meet with weekly. We served 4 youth in this program. We also provide a service called Skills Training, which utilizes a trained Qualified Mental Health Associate (QMHA) to work on curricula that will improve life skills. Skills trainer is supported by the therapy staff, as well. We served 6 individuals in this program, all of which were youth.

We have between 100 and 150 volunteers per week and about 300 total individuals throughout the year. These volunteers help with our clinical services, inclusive equestrian sports and assist with caring for our herd of therapy horses and ponies. Our Vocational Training Program provides a placement site for the Lake Oswego School District transition program. We served one student in this program and this student was able to come to Forward Stride multiple times a week and work directly with a Lake Oswego teacher, who is also a Forward Stride staff member, learning skills that can benefit the student in life and job placement. This program also provides mentorship to individuals that would like to become Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship, International (PATH Intl.) Certified Therapeutic Riding Instructors. We had 3 individuals complete this Instructor in Training course in 2019-2020, 2 also successfully became certified and 1 is waiting on SARS-2/COVID-19 restrictions to lift to attend a certification. Equine Facilitated Learning (EFL) is an experiential learning approach that promotes the development of life skills for educational, professional and personal goals through equine-assisted activities. We provided one time EFL experiences and 4-6 week curriculum based EFL sessions to clients. Some of the learning included communication, body language, group dynamics and problem solving. We served 4-6 individuals in the weekly program, partnering with NARA (Native American Rehabilitation Association) and 1 individual that was funded by DHS (Department of Human Services).
