We love partnering with the CSU Department of Occupational Therapy through their fieldwork program! Check out what our most recent fieldwork student, Marley Mardock, has to say about the new doctorate program at https://chhs.source.colostate.edu/csus-occupational-therapy-program-jumps-from-7th-to-3rd-in-u-s-news-rankings/! 💚💛🐏

Two reasons why the Temple Grandin Equine Center is the best...

"CSU’s occupational therapy program and Doctor of Veterinary Medicine programs both ranked top three in the country."

🚨 Important Barn Update 🚨

We regret to inform you that My Heroes is now under new management… by a gaggle of geese. 🦢😳

Despite our best efforts, the geese have officially “ousted” the horses and claimed the barn as their own. They’ve taken over feeding schedules (mostly demanding more snacks), rearranged stalls into “VIP Goose Lofts,” and started offering “water aerobics” in every available trough.

Effective immediately, all lessons will now be conducted on goose-back. Riders are encouraged to practice their balance—these new mounts are a little… wobbly.

We apologize for any inconvenience, but let’s be honest—it’s their barn now. We’re just living in it.

(P.S. Happy April Fools’! The horses are still in charge… for now. 😉)

Learn from the best, our very own, Michelle Winer!

Our Lunch & Learn Series is BACK!

This presentation was so well attended at our 2024 Conference that we just had to have Michelle back to present again!

REGISTER HERE: https://aha.memberclicks.net/lunch_learn

Monday, May 13th at 12:00 p.m. (MST)

Join Michelle Winer, PT, MSPT, HPCS while she talks about the affects of Electrical Stimulation in Coordination with Hippotherapy.

Electrical stimulation is an underutilized modality in pediatrics and outpatient clinical settings. There are a number of barriers to use of electrical stimulation as well as a number of facilitators that can increase use. Research on functional electrical stimulation (FES) in CP shows that it can affect spasticity, strength, gait, posture, balance and upper extremity use. Use of FES can be a modality that works well with and complements the use of hippotherapy in clinical practice.
