"It will be a place 'where all will be equal in the saddle' and it will make many major differences in the lives of children and adults, according to several officials.
Designed by Darriel G. Mathis Designs, the new Manes & Miracles Equine-Assisted Therapy Center, Barn and Arena will be built on a 30.66-acre area at Chaffee Crossing north of Arkansas 22 and east of Barling and will provide services to children with special needs and veterans with a wide range of physical, mental, cognitive and emotional disabilities, said Jodi Kusturin, executive director and a physical therapist for Manes & Miracles. The 501 (c)(3) nonprofit center will specialize in therapeutic riding, hippotherapy and aquatic therapy to area children and veterans, she said."
Our Mission: Manes and Miracles is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization whose mission is to provide equine-assisted therapy to people with disabilities, to create an environment where opportunity replaces limitation, and to help children and adults learn the power of the words "I can".
Our Vision: The vision of Manes & Miracles is to provide hippotherapy and adaptive riding for 90 - 100 patients weekly in a state of the art researched based therapy facility.
Romans 8:28 - And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
As a nonprofit organization we rely heavily on the generosity of caring individuals and service groups.
