For individuals with disabilities, special needs or mental health issues, the simple act of riding on horseback can have numerous therapeutic benefits. SIRE is a charitable organization that specializes in offering this equine therapy to members of the community with a wide variety of special needs.
We've also expanded into equine assisted learning, which is working with school groups and students to teach them the skills they need to improve their academic performance, whether it's trust, communication skills or persistence in activities. Through the last 20 years, there's been a lot of academic research also on the benefits of horseback riding. But then, as I said, as we move into more of the the equine assisted learning and equine assisted mental health, it's not necessarily the riding. It’s learning to form the relationship with the horse.
We started with one location. We had three horses and six clients. Today we have two locations, one located in Spring, Texas, and one located in Fulshear, Texas, and each of those locations sees about 100 clients a week. So we've grown quite a bit, serving 200 clients a week. We’ve got 30 horses. We were fortunate we were able to lease a horse facility from a private individual, but it was with the understanding that this was not a long term solution. Acquiring this new land was a bold action, because we had to spend quite a bit of money- about $3 million- to acquire this property that we could have as our own and utilize under our own management rules but this is a home that we can count on for the next 50 years.
