According to a recent press release, ATI SuperConference attendees managed to raise $65,880 in donations to Unbridled Horse Therapy, a program based in Texas that provides therapeutic horseback riding to children with special needs.
The practice helps children with physical and/or emotional health challenges and disabilities to develop skills such as physical strength and coordination, self-reflection, communication skills, and emotional regulation. This is done through building a bond with a horse alongside a trained instructor.
Each year, ATI selects a different charity to fundraise for, with Unbridled Horse Therapy being the charity of the 2024 SuperConference. In recent years, ATI members have donated a total of over $400,000 to various charities.
“The time we spent with the ATI members and staff, and the warm support we received will remain on the highlight reel of Unbridled’s history. It was truly an amazing experience,” said Shelly Turner, co-founder of Unbridled Horse Therapy. “Since 2016, and with over 75 years of combined experience across our team, we have been dedicated to helping people of all ages and abilities through the healing power of horses.”
