Our riders range from 3 to 65 years of age with varied diagnoses including but not limited to: mild to severe Cerebral Palsy, Autism, Traumatic Brain Injury, Mental Retardation, Learning Disabilities, MS, seizure disorders, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and disorders resulting from exposure to drug and/or physical abuse. Our Mission at Mounted Eagles is to enhances the lives of program participants, volunteers and the community by providing a safe and enjoyable environment where individuals with special needs benefit from therapeutic, developmental and educational equine-assisted activities. We partner with the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International (PATH Intl.), whose tagline is “Ensuring excellence and changing lives through equine-assisted activities and therapies.” PATH Intl., a federally-registered 501(c3) nonprofit, was formed in 1969 as the North American Riding for the Handicapped Association to promote equine-assisted activities and therapies (EAAT) for individuals with special needs. Membership and accreditation with PATH Intl. supports the professionalism, credibility and continuing education the public has come to expect from our program. Mounted Eagles is located in Brainerd, MN, at Spirit Horse Center equestrian facility. Spirit Horse Center is a gathering place for those with a passion for horses and a desire to learn, and it has become a sanctuary where horse and human make a connection that will last a lifetime.
