Heartland Therapeutic Riding Inc. is a farm and stable housed organization that has made it their mission to improve the balance, coordination and muscle strength of disabled children and adults. To build up muscles and increase ones balance and coordination Heartland uses early intervention hippotherapy and/or therapeutic sports riding of horses.
These enhancements of balance, coordination and strengthening of muscles is due to the emphasis the horses backs put on the riders pelvises which stimulates all the muscles in the body during the interaction with the individual and the horse.
Heartland is successfully operated and managed with the help of over 120 volunteers, physical and occupational therapists as well as North American Riding for the Handicapped Association (NARHA) certified instructors.
NetStandard came across this amazing organization by chance and realized the impact it was having and could potentially have on the local and surrounding Kansas and Missouri areas.
The NetStandard team decided the most effective way of supporting and contributing to Heartland Therapeutic Riding Inc. was by increasing its visibility and awareness in the community.
Once expressing our interest in helping, we were informed that a fundraising event for the program was being held on April 4, 2008.
This event was appropriately titled, Tux n Boots Dinner and Auction. In order to raise money, Heartland hosts this annual fundraiser to persuade current and potential supporters to contribute to the good cause.
Considering the organization was using a video that was created ten years ago to show potential and current contributors, supporters, volunteers and participants what it is that they do; we decided to shoot, edit, produce and create an up-to-date DVD of the program. It is NetStandards hope that through the viewing of this video at (but not limited to) the Tux n Boots event, that many more individuals will be aware of the positive impacts horseback riding therapy can have on an array of disabled children and adults.
