2 Executive Report Windridge Therapeutic Equestrian Center of East Texas, Inc. continues to be a community that offers a peace-filled place of laughter, life lessons, and personal improvements for everyone who participates in our programs. With seven certified instructors, four licensed therapists, 60 program volunteers who come weekly, and 21 therapy horses; our participants experience a weekly therapeutic activity that improves daily function; leading to happier, healthier lives. In 2016, the support of our community enabled us to provide 86 participants the ability to participate in our EAAT programs from September through June; once a week, each week. Dawn Martin Executive Director This year our board of directors and staff successfully transitioned from Windridge s founder and first executive director to a new executive director, whom was a veteran employee. A few of things we accomplished in 2016 were: Maintaining a debt free EAAT operation Achieving financial success with our two annual fundraising efforts, Horse & Rider/ Open House and our Fall Challenge Grant And, increased our program participant numbers by 15% Windridge is a leader in the therapeutic horsemanship industry and continues to achieve a high standard of program quality and equine management. As with the past twenty-eight years, we anticipate the need for Windridge s services to continue as therapeutic riding is increasingly viewed as a valuable form of activities and therapies to serve individuals of all ages and with countless mental, emotional, and/or physical disabilities. Windridge will continue to identify the most efficient way to maintain our amazing facility for participants and their families for years to come. We are all looking forward to this upcoming year. As we look to strengthening ourselves as a staff and in turn progressing our equine s ability to benefit our participants through an increase in beneficial movemnt and their interaction with the humans on Windridge s property and with our participants on an emotional level. The coming year is a new start to the great programs Windridge has been providing since Windridge s board of directors, staff, participants and their families, continue to be humbled by the generous support given to Windridge to assist us in making our our mission to serve children and adults with a disability through equine-assisted activity and therapy programs a reality. We welcome each and every one of you to stop by our facility anytime and meet our dedicated staff, volunteers, horses, and accomplished riders. In June 2016, our founder and first Executive Director retired from Windridge. In preparation for that to happen Windridge s board of directors began diligently searching for the next person to lead Windridge into its future. After many months of searching and deliberation Margo s successor was chosen. Leadership Transition So, on April 2, 2016, Dawn Martin, one of Windridge s beloved current staff members was presented to the community as the next Executive Director of Windridge Therapeutic Equestrian Center and as the individual charged with bringing Windridge into its future of providing exeptional equine-assisted programs to the East Texas Area.
3 Mission Windridge strives to enhance the quality of life for children, adults, and veterans with disabilities through equine-assisted activities and therapy programs and to impact the therapeutic horsemanship industry regionally and nationally in areas of science and education.

5 Volunteer Program Windridge s volunteer program focuses on providing opportunities for volunteerism and community service for adults and youth. As each volunteer works with Windridge s instructors, they are progressed through a three level system of volunteering. Each level represents a skill and knowledge base that ensures their ability to assist therapeutic riding and driving instructors in conducting safe, effective, and thera- peutic programs for each program participant. Volunteers can assist before and during class times by grooming and tacking horses, sidewalking, spotting, and leading. Other volunteers use their talents to assist on paint projects, maintenance, and cleaning. Every job performed by a volunteer at Windridge is a blessing and greatly appreciated. 306 individual volunteers Thank you, volunteers, for your dedication to our programs. Our dedicated volunteers provided 4, hours of volunteer service Volunteers at Windridge not only assisted instructors in preparing for and assisting during class times, but volunteers also assist Windridge with major projects and safety around our facility.

This includes, but is not limited to, teaching curriculum necessary for instructor certifications, personnel advancement, and horse training. Each year Windridge works with local universities and colleges to provide an in the field experience of equine-assisted activities and therapy (EAAT) programs. Nursing and therapy students shadow Kidz First Therapists as they work with their clients and receive valuable interaction time with both clients and therapists. Windridge also provides the opportunity for individuals interested in EAAT to become an intern at Windridge, where they can receive one on one training and first hand experiences in each of Windridge s programs as well as receive class instruction related to there field of study. GaitWay to the Brain Volunteer Training This past year Windridge had the opportunity to have a presentation given by a ManeGait Therapeutic Horsemanship representative about their new and innovative program called GaitWay to the Brain. This program extends the benefits of therapeutic riding by integrating brain-building exercises into the framework for equine therapy. LSTEN Conference Windridge s staff was able to attend the Region 8 Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International conference held in Tyler, TX. This conference provided education in three different areas of therapeutic horsemanship: disabilities, horses, and center management. Instructors and Windridge s management were able to receive beneficial information from peers in the field and receive new insights into what is happening in the industry. Driving/Long lining Clinic This years driving/long lining clinic gave Windridge s therapeutic riding and driving instructors continuing education hours, as well as, enhanced the skills each individual has and incorporate new ideas that instructors found valuable for their education and their participants. This clinic was attended by staff and several volunteers who received many new techniques that have enhance our programs. Pasture Maintenance This past year Windridge was provided the opportunity to hear from a professional in the Longview area present on pasture maintenance. He came to Windridge s facility and gave specific examples from our fields and looked at how we can continue to be good stewarts of the Windridge fields through pasture care and enrichment so that our fields are able to support our herd of horses for the foreseeable future. This years volunteer training provided equine, disability, and therapeutic horsemanship knowledge to Windridge s volunteers. As our volunteers progress in their knowledge and skills, so can our participants as the volunteers are more equipped to support Windridge s instructors during class times. EAGALA Presentation When looking toward the future and what is in store for the therapeutic horsemanship industry Windridge was provided the opportunity to have an EAGALA treatment team present their format to Windridge s instructors. EAGALA is an association for professionals incorporating horses to address mental health and personal development needs. As PATH, as well as, Windridge looks to the mental health realm of EAAT EAGALA is the forerunner of knowledge and experience. PATH, Intl. National Conference This past year our executive director and program director where both able to attend the PATH, Intl. National Conference. This conference provided a look into the industry as a whole and provided top notch education for all those who attend. Staff Development Each year Windridge strives to enhance the knowledge of its therapeutic riding and driving instructors as they continue to provide services to our participants. This year s staff development started off with a staff member becoming a certified therapeutic riding instructor. As the knowledge and skills of Windridge s instructors and volunteers increases so does the benefits received by our participants. Each instructor is always working towards the advancement of their knowledge and looking towards the future and how they can continually advance their riders.
7 Therapeutic and Equine Mastery Program Partnership with Panola College Panola College s health science department has partnered with Windridge to provide on the job training for their graduating occupational therapy assistant (OTA) students. This partnership has provided knowledgeable individuals the opportunity to assist instructors and therapists during class times. After observing participatns for several weeks, students were able to identify the needs of each participant with the instructor or therapists and choose activities to incorporate into their classes for a hands on approach. The students were able to assess and implement their strategy than discuss whether their plan of care was successful or would need adjustments in the future. This practical application provided opportunities for students to observe and be directly involved with Windridge s particpants providing the therapy students on the job examples as they begin their move toward a career as an occupational therpay assistant. 800 hours of observation and hands on experience was provided to Panola College students. Partnerships with Local Colleges and Universities The use of the horse as a therapy strategy for children and adults with disabilities is very unique and something most therapy and nursing students going through school do not get the opportunity to experience before graduation. To provide college students with an experience into what equine-assisted activity and therapy programs are, as well as, provide a location for graduating students to have their internship Windridge has partnered with: Kilgore College Northeast Texas Community College Panola College The University of Texas at Tyler Tyler Junior College 245 observation hours were provided on Hippotherapy days to local college students pursuing a career in nursing, occupational therapy, or physical therapy. The Comprehensive Guide to Equine-Assisted Activities and Therapies The long anticipated arrival of a first of its kind textbook for use in the equine-assisted activity and therapy industry has arrived. Margo Dewkett, Windridge s founder, co-authored the textbook and was instrumental in the publication and distribution of the final product. The textbook is currently being utilized by instructors-in-training, at workshops, in universities and colleges as a reference for those who are interested in furthing their knowledge in the therapeutic horsemanship industry.
