“We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give.” - Sir Winston Churchill
Welcome Home
The Therapeutic Equestrian Center at
Swiftsure Ranch opens our gates for riders
of all ages at no charge for the services we
provide thanks to the overwhelming support from donors and volunteers like you.
Our funding for the program comes from
Cowboy Ball attendees who generously
donate about half of our annual operating
funds that evening. Grants and individual
gifts throughout the year provide another
quarter of our income. The balance of
operating requirements comes from your
generous gifts at the end of the year.
Mark your calendar for next year’s
Cowboy Ball on July 11, 2013.
Your end-of-year generosity is the lifeblood
to continue to provide equine assisted
therapy to over 300 individuals who benefit
from our program each year...So, thank
you for your continued support.
Happy Holidays!

This is a not-to-be-missed
fun filled party! Not your
average fundraiser, this
year’s event at the new
ranch was enhanced by
the open, natural setting
and horse kisses during
the silent auction. Everyone was immersed in the
spirit of the night. Looking forward to gathering
around the Great Willow
Bar with you next year.
Each summer Swiftsure
Ranch staff, volunteers
and horses join the team
at Camp Rainbow Gold
to give children diagnosed with cancer, who
are either undergoing
oncology treatments or
are in remission, an opportunity to enjoy trail
riding and show off their
newfound skills astride
a horse.
At the end of each summer Swiftsure Ranch
hosts an adaptive rodeo
and horseshow. Riders
of all ages compete in
events such as equitation,
barrel racing, pole bending and cow sorting. The
event attracts riders from
other programs from
around the state of Idaho
and culminates with a
BBQ and live music.
Through partnerships
with Higher Ground
and the Veteran’s Affairs
office in Boise, veterans
with physical disabilities
and emotional challenges can experience
the therapeutic benefits
of equine-assisted activities. We provide a safe,
healing place for those
struggling with the
traumatic experiences of
combat.
Swiftsure Ranch proudly
hosts a summer camp for
participants of the school
who have visual and/or
hearing impairments.
These riders enjoy sensory driven experiences
while astride a horse.
These camps focus on
enhancing the feedback
from external stimuli and
sensory input.
Students come to the ranch from Hailey, Bellevue, Carey and Woodside Elementary,
Wood River Middle and High School special education groups.

You, the donors and volunteers, continue to
make the story of Swiftsure Ranch possible.
All of our riders’ successes and milestones are a direct result of your continued generosity. Every dollar
spent is a donated dollar and your support allows us
to continue to provide our services at no charge to all
riders.
Swiftsure Ranch offers equine-assisted activities that
focus on teaching riding skills with a broad range
and combination of disabilities. These lessons are
considered “therapeutic riding” and are specifically
designed to meet each individual rider’s needs. In addition, each horse is specifically picked for the lesson
based on their movement and gait, as the input of the
horse is crucial in assisting the rider in meeting his/
her goals.
Disabilities
Served
Classes for riders with physical disabilities focus on
using the input of the horse to affect muscles, bones
or nerves. Activities specific to the rider’s needs help
improve strength, balance, and coordination.

Classes for riders with cognitive impairments focus
on learning skills that address the many processes of
the mind which include; planning, judgment, memory,
orientation, concepts, attention, and language.
Riders who have sensory processing impairments
participate in activities on the horse to improve the
brain’s ability to take in, analyze and respond to
information from the body’s five senses. The primary
goals of these classes are to improve body awareness,
sequencing and judgment skills, attention span, cause
and effect, motor coordination, spatial awareness, and
early learning skills.
“This riding program is such a unique and amazing opportunity with immeasurable benefits to
Diesel’s development, social growth and self
confidence. Now in his fifth year riding, his extended family at Swiftsure has helped to expand
his world tremendously. We, as a family, feel so
fortunate to be a part of such a special place.” Kory Ward, Diesel’s mom
Regardless of why a rider joins our program the benefits of therapeutic riding also increase self confidence,
self esteem and a greater sense of independence.
Most therapeutic riding centers require a fee to
provide services. At Swiftsure Ranch, the cost of an
hourly riding lesson would be approximately $120
and an annual student cost would be $5,600. This
includes the care and support for our 16 horses, certified instructors, skilled and trained volunteers, and
the operating cost of the facility.

The students are why we do what we do–the horses are how we do it; our volunteers, staff and board members are
intimately familar and completely understand the feelings of freedom, both mentally and physically, horses provide.

From the Director
“Much like our students, my life has been fuller and richer because of horses. “
The saying “what a difference a year can
make” has a new meaning for all of us at
Swiftsure Ranch. In 2011 we were determined to identify and purchase a facility
so that we could be in control of our destiny for years to come. Well, destiny is here,
in the form of Swiftsure Ranch. We have
come from a shared equine facility on 9
acres to our own home on 191 acres. Swiftsure Ranch was already an equine facility
with arenas, stalls, pasture and hay fields.
That, in itself was an incredible find, but
the true gem is the location and serenity of
the ranch. The facilities are buffered from
the outside world by trees, open space, the
Big Wood River and public lands.
cesses from astride a horse. Many times
there are no words to quantify the special
moments between our riders, volunteers
and horses. It can be the joy and excitement of a rider with Down Syndrome as
she rides by a nest at eye level and breaks
into song about a bird, or a veteran who
wipes away a tear after telling us the horses
gave him a reason to get out of bed today.
Mental health studies have shown that
horses can cause people to emote faster
than many other therapies and if there is
emotion attached to the action, retention
and improvement can be astounding. The
horse’s movement also moves the rider’s
body in ways that sometimes they cannot do themselves. The combination of
trained, certified staff, amazing volunteers
and willing horses allows us to truly make
a difference in many individual’s lives.
None of this would be possible without
the incredible support from our many donors and foundations. We thank you all
for making Swiftsure Ranch a truly special place.
Riders can be more fully engaged by using
the natural sights and sounds abundant
on the ranch as well as the varied terrain
of our acres of trail systems that help us
build on the fundamental skills required
for equine-assisted activities. The opportunities are endless to create riding lesson
activities that focus on the many processes
of the mind which may include; planning,
judgment, memory, orientation, concepts,
attention and language, as well as the many components of physical movements
that affect the muscles, bones and nerves.
It is easy to see the progression of our rid- ers with their physical and cognitive suc-
All the best!
Cheryl Bennett
Executive Director
“Everybody who comes here feels good when they leave whether watching, participating or riding. It makes your
day better no matter what your role is here...there should be more of that in the world.” Teresa Hukari – Swiftsure Ranch rider
Our Programs
5
EQUINE Assisted activities: Students participate in weekly riding sessions focusing on utilizing the multidirectional movement of the horse to improve strength, balance, and coordination. In addition, the students experience
improvements in cognitive processing, confidence and social
interaction.
BLAINE COUNTy SChOOL PROGRAM: : Swiftsure Ranch provides an equine-assisted learning class for students in a special education classroom or on an IEP (independent educational program). We have over 40 students from
7 schools participating in weekly therapeutic riding lessons.
RANCh HANDs: Summer work/study program for teenagers. This program fills a hole in the community for teens
who may have social or behavioral issues or need direction
and support in a safe environment. Teens learn proper social
interaction skills, responsibility and accountability, through
structured work projects and team building exercises. Each
teen establishes personal goals and partners with our horses
to achieve these goals. Upon successful completion of this
summer program, the teens will have completed a resume to
assist them in finding a job, and will be paid a small stipend.
YOUTh HORSEMANShIP: Modeled after 4H project
based activities, riders from age 9-18 are assigned a horse and
required to meet established goals to compete in an end of the
year horse show. Each participant is required to complete a
presentation, community service project, and complete a record book of their project. The goal of the program is for the
riders to compete in the Blaine County horse 4H show.
COMMUNITy SERvICE PROGRAM: Suspended or
expelled Blaine County School students are referred to perform community service at Swiftsure Ranch. These students
learn life skills and improve accountability in a safe, positive
environment by assisting with therapeutic riding lessons and
performing maintenance chores.
Sensory Trail
It has always been our dream
to provide an enhanced rider
experience through trail rides.
Now, just steps from our indoor
arena, we can offer this experience
through the multitude of trails available in the natural setting. We are
in the process of constructing an
innovative sensory trail, thanks to
the generosity of The Wattis Dumke
Foundation and The Idaho Horse
Board. This trail system will include
sensory stations that engage all five
senses while addressing physical
challenges. In September we had
our official ground-breaking partnered with The Mission Continues
and Corp. Jason Sellars, in fellowship with the Sun Valley Adaptative
Sports Higher Ground program.
Fifty volunteers pitched in to clear
and prep the trails in readiness for
the installation of the sensory stations which will be completed in the
spring of 2013.
