Therapeutic Horse Program Scholarships are funded by generous donations to the Springbrook Foundation. These limited resources are intended to assist those with financial need who would otherwise not be able to participate in a therapeutic horsemanship experience. Scholarships are available to children & adults with developmental disabilities who receive services from Springbrook and/or Southern Tier Connect.
Springbrook’s Therapeutic Horse Program scholarship applications will be accepted for the 2022 riding season beginning January 25.
Up to ten (10) vouchers may be awarded to a person, to be used for therapeutic horseback riding lessons, horse care, leading, cart riding, and other horse-related activities during 2022 at one of the participating stables:
- Athelas Therapeutic Riding, 1179 County Highway 5, Otego
- Golden Gait Farm, 3613 Pine Swamp Road, Sidney Center
- Cooperstown Equestrian Park, 3444 Otsego Co. Hwy 11, Hartwick
Horse program activities must be scheduled by the scholarship recipient and their family/advocate. Transportation and staffing are not included in the scholarship. Vouchers must be used by November 30, 2022.
Previous scholarship recipients may apply, but those who did not use their vouchers, or who were no-shows for scheduled sessions, are not likely to be awarded vouchers again.
APPLY NOW! All applications must be submitted online by Friday, March 4th. Scholarship recipients will be notified via mail by March 21.
Please note there are two versions of the application this year!
