Event features the 5K run which starts at 8 a.m. and is followed by festivities that include: rider demonstrations, facility tours, gift basket silent auction, free hot dogs & hamburgers donated by Arvest Bank, kids play zone, and more.

 

This event each Spring gives families, supporters, volunteers, and the community an opportunity to visit our most unique facility and see how life changing this special therapy can be.

 

Beyond Boundaries operates with a volunteer base and just one person on staff.  Because of this, we are able to put so much back into making the program better and available to more children each year.

*Beyond Boundaries is proud to be sponsored in part by Ben E. Keith Foods, Glazer’s Distributors, Arvest Bank, Central Arkansas Corvette Club, and Allied Therapy.

 

Beyond Boundaries is a non-profit therapy center for children and adults with disabilities that use horses as a therapy tool, this is called “hippotherapy”.  Equine assisted therapy has proven success in areas such as: increased specific motor, sensory, speech, and behavior/social responses.  Beyond Boundaries along with the partnership of Allied Therapy, Arkansas Children’s Hospital, & UCA is 1 of only 5 accredited fellowship locations in the nation for pediatric physical therapy.  Beyond Boundaries is dedicated to not only providing medically relevant and successful therapy to all of those benefiting but also to becoming a leader in the continued education of therapists and the research around pediatrics and hippotherapy.  Our primary beneficiaries include children with special needs.
