Riding Beyond has served breast cancer survivors and thrivers in the Rogue Valley since 2013 with their equine assisted services in human development.
Located in Ashland, their mission is to open doors to the future with trauma recovery from breast cancer treatment, and since 2021, from other life challenges, such as COVID and wildfire trauma. The founder and director of the program, Trish Broersma, is certified with the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International (PATH Intl) as a therapeutic riding instructor and as an equine specialist in mental health and learning. Licensed mental health counselors and certified equine specialists assist in designing and conducting programs, along with a large volunteer crew and five specially-trained and talented horses (plus one donkey), all of whom endeavor to explore and share the remarkable benefits of the horse/human relationship.
