equine - Swiftsure Ranch

WE RIDE...
FROM THE DIRECTOR FROM THE PRESIDENT
CHERYL BENNETT
LESLIE BENZ
As I enter my fourth year as Executive Director of Swiftsure
Ranch, it seems easier to look forward than to remember how
far we’ve come. The pace we set for ourselves in 2011, and have
maintained ever since, has been truly breathtaking. Seemingly
insurmountable challenges and once-distant goals have been
realized; the growth and change that has occurred now seems
almost commonplace. But we’re not done!
Thank you, Wood River Valley. The support within our
community for Swiftsure Ranch Therapeutic Equestrian Center
and our riders throughout 2014 was nothing short of amazing. I
speak on behalf of our entire Board of Directors when I express
heartfelt gratitude for all the ways in which this community has
supported our programs.
While the connection between our horses, riders, staff and
volunteers has remained constant, the increase to 107 riders a
week is indicative of the immense need for the unique services
we provide. Each year we continue to enhance our collaboration
with the Blaine County school system and other non-profits like
Camp Rainbow Gold, Idaho School for the Deaf and Blind, Boise
VA and Higher Ground.
In 2014, we further solidified our commitment to providing
the highest level of equine-assisted activities and therapies
by becoming a Premier Accredited Center (PAC) with the
Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship
International (PATH Int’l.). This is no small achievement;
Swiftsure Ranch endured an extensive site visit and evaluation
resulting in our becoming one of only 248 PACs out of 685
members in the U.S.
Throughout 2,885 hours of lessons annually, our instructors
develop goals and lesson plans specific to each rider’s abilities
and needs. This ensures the best possible lesson while
increasing our riders’ skill level and confidence. We require all of
our instructors to be or become certified by PATH International.
Our instructors continually educate themselves in the latest
training strategies, going above and beyond the required training
to ensure that our riders are being taught by the best in the
business.
This past year, many of the plans envisioned for Swiftsure
Ranch were realized. We’ve developed miles of trails to
promote the sensory experience via horseback, and provide
novelty and variety for riders old and new. We have a new
riverside campground to host veterans’ camps and other
multi-day retreats, an amenity that doesn’t exist elsewhere in
our community. Our newly covered outdoor arena, at 30,000
square feet, allows us much more flexibility in scheduling, a
more comfortable environment for everyone, and a far better
therapeutic riding experience for our “high risk” riders and those
who benefit most from a controlled environment.
With every improvement to our program, we see more
possibilities for the Ranch. We are exploring possibilities for
enclosing the outdoor arena, an ambitious goal which would
allow four-season flexibility to conduct our programming safely
and efficiently, and offer the capacity to meet at least some
of the pent-up demand of deserving potential riders who’ve
been wait-listed. 2015 will also see a developed Master Plan
addressing future infrastructure improvements, and the means
to provide them. As demand for our services increases, our
goals include planning for program expansion and professional
accommodations for Hippotherapy and Equine Assisted
Psychotherapy.
I thank our Board of Directors, our Staff and our Volunteers for
the commitment they’ve made to ensuring Swiftsure Ranch is a
place the entire community is rightfully proud of. I thank all of
you for investing in our riders, our mission, our vision and our
future. The dividends we see are beyond measure, and I hope
this report captures some of their value for you.
TO FLY!
Your support of our efforts is both humbling and empowering.
The magic that happens here, and ripples out into our
community, could not exist without you.

2,574 VOLUNTEER HOURS
FOUR SESSIONS OF 8-12 WEEKS
Swiftsure’s regular therapeutic riding programs consist
of weekly individual or group riding lessons, 30 minutes
to one hour in length, focusing on horsemanship skills to
promote independence, build strength and coordination,
improve cognitive processing and foster social skills.
Participants work toward practical goals such as going
on a trail ride, competing in a horse show, learning to
jump or learning to herd cows. For some of our riders,
simply showing up, getting outside and staying astride
a horse for 45 minutes is a Herculean task and an
accomplishment in itself. Once a rider is accepted into
our program, we work to accommodate their disability
on whatever level is necessary.

CAMP RAINBOW GOLD
• ONCOLOGY, TEEN & SIBLING CAMP
• 60 KIDS TOTAL
• 3 ONE-DAY CAMPS
For the first time in our long collaboration with CRG, the kids came
to us instead of us trucking horses north to Cathedral Pines. Genius!
Less hassle, more quality time on horseback and the benefits of our
beautiful facility. Each camper enjoyed our new trail system, plus a barn
tour, sports station, horse painting, making horse shoe ornaments, and
joining a campfire sing-a-long with Alex Woodard and our very own
Kirsten Cutler.
SIBLING RIDING DAY
•
•
•
•
A NEW ONE-DAY SUMMER SESSION
34 SIBLINGS
7 GROUPS OF SIBLING RIDERS
40 VOLUNTEER HOURS
Our younger riders brought their brothers or sisters to the Ranch for
a day of riding and education. Disability or catastrophic illness affects
entire families, straining interpersonal relationships. Sometimes it can
feel as if the whole world revolves around adapting to special needs.
It’s powerful and positive for healthy kids to experience the Swiftsure
magic themselves, and observe directly how their sibling is benefiting
from equine therapy. Plus, it’s fun! And that’s an invaluable bonding
opportunity that can be hard to come by.
VETERANS’ PROGRAMS
• 35 VETERANS, 3 OCCASIONS, 4 DAYS
• 40 HOURS OF DESIGN AND LOGISTICAL
PREPARATION
• 15 SPECIALLY TRAINED VOLUNTEERS
Veterans’ programs at Swiftsure Ranch are customized to create
opportunities for experiential learning with the horse’s unique ability to
mirror human behavior and deliver non-verbal, non-judgmental feedback.
Many events culminate in mounted activities, but the main focus is on
civilian and societal reintegration, personal reflection, self-awareness,
relationship building and teamwork. Ask one of our participants, and the
results will speak for themselves.

Swiftsure fills a gap for teens with social or behavioral issues who may
need direction and support in a safe, structured environment. Through
work projects and team-building exercises, participants gain social
interaction skills, responsibility, and accountability. Each teen establishes
personal goals and pursues them in partnership with our equines. Weekly
riding lessons add horsemanship skills, building confidence and selfesteem. Upon successful completion of the program, ranch hands receive
a stipend and a notable achievement to add to their resume.

OUR
EQUINE SUPPORT PROVIDERS
EQUINE MASSAGE
Swiftsure’s four-legged therapists are dedicated to carrying riders
of all physical and mental abilities. Some riders have no control over
their bodies, which can cause problems for a horse. To stay fit and
sound, horses need riders who are balanced in their “seat,” or saddle.
Otherwise, pressure points can lead to compensation in other areas,
creating soreness and potential gait issues­—a downward spiral for
both horse and rider. Horses, like humans, suffer adverse effects
from tense, contracted muscles: pressure on surrounding tissue, pain
and discomfort, decreased circulation and restricted range of motion.
Muscular injuries, unattended, can compound movement problems
and affect training. Equine massage therapy helps performance horses
fulfill their potential. Fortunately, long-time board member, volunteer
and Swiftsure supporter Teri Szombathy has provided integrated
equine therapy for our herd since last winter. “I found that the horses
were sore after a lesson,” Teri says, “and this progressed into bigger
problems. They would get grumpy and not perform well. Hopefully
I make them feel more comfortable, keeping them mentally and
physically happy.”
Happy horses + decreased vet bills = happy riders and a healthy program.

DEDICATED LIFE CHANGERS
At Swiftsure one can fly without wings. Swiftsure lifts people from their wheelchair to the back
of a horse, where they can look down on the world instead of always up. Swiftsure allows people
battling a disease to forget their struggle for that one hour that they commune with their horse.
Swiftsure enables a young girl without the use of her arms to use adaptive reins and ride the
horse without assistance. Swiftsure soothes the souls of veterans. Swiftsure provides horses that
are gentle giants, an incredible staff of instructors and volunteers that help even the most timid
to feel safe and loved. Miracles happen everyday at Swiftsure. I am honored to be part of such a
special place.
Gail, Swiftsure Volunteer
It’s often said that one leaves Swiftsure feeling better than when they arrived. I’m
pretty sure that this is an almost universally accepted axiom. As of late, I have spent
some time wondering just why this wonderful feeling comes over us and here is a
snippet of those thoughts. I’m part of teams for three adult riders. When I head to
the ranch I have a 20 minute drive and go about my various tasks to be ready for the
lesson. Not a big deal. Two of the three have a one-way travel time of from 45 to 90
minutes to get here and they all have an amazing support system in place to make
it happen. A very big deal. During and after the lesson time they make us feel like
family and share what’s going on in their lives. With everything on their plate, they
never forget the little things and want to know how we are and what’s special in our
lives; kids, grandkids, health and the like.
I heard recently that one of these folks made mention that without the ranch, its
people and program, that their progress would not be what it is today. Wow!
For all the above and more, these folks are my heroes and mentors for my life so I
humbly say...what’s not to feel good about!
I thank them.
Pete, Swiftsure Volunteer
