We also believe it’s very important to provide respite and peace for parents and caregivers. While your loved one participates in this beneficial treatment strategies offered - you’ll find yourself among other caregivers in a serene, inviting atmosphere. Sit in the sunshine, take a walk, relax on the porch, enjoy a weekly slice of Heaven. Sessions and retreats are offered from time to time for Caregivers as well.

❤️🎯These beautiful hay feeders were handcrafted by a local church that has shown STAT so much love and support through their incredible handiwork. I absolutely LOVE them!

A huge thank you to Bill B. and the crew for donating your time, talent, and materials. We are so grateful. The herd is already enjoying them, and they’re going to help us save a lot of hay too! 🙏🏻🍀

Bambi & Thumper Are On the Move 🫏💛

Our little ambassadors have been busy!

On Wednesday, Bambi and Thumper visited the Southwestern Veterans’ Center, and today they brought smiles to friends at Redstone. There were a lot of happy faces.

We absolutely love taking our mini donkeys out into the community. The quiet moments… the soft noses… the laughter… the stories that start flowing when a donkey leans in close. It never gets old.

Most of the time we don’t share photos from visits out of respect for privacy and HIPAA guidelines — protecting those we serve is always our priority.

But here are a few sweet snapshots of Bambi and Thumper from other days so you can see the joy-makers in action.

These two may be small…
but the impact is mighty. 💫

Our Story

STAT strives for equality of ALL in a society without barriers, to help every human reach their full potential.

STAT provides EAP/EAL and Hippotherapy services; we also offer restorative retreats and can customize a program to your needs:

>> Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (a mental health treatment that incorporates horses in a variety of activities that stimulate growth and learning for clients) We utilize the EAGALA modality, which provides for a powerful and effective therapeutic session with a collaborative effort between a licensed mental health professional, a horse professional, and the horse(s) to facilitate treatment goals. (

>> Hippotherapy (Speech, Physical & Occupational Outpatient Therapy) We utilize horses as the therapy tool and licensed therapists trained by the American Hippotherapy Association).
