Endeavor Therapeutic Horsemanship

What Endeavor Therapeutic Horsemanship does

Endeavor Therapeutic Horsemanship is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in November 2014 and headquartered on a 20-acre campus at 556 Croton Lake Road in Bedford Corners, New York. The organization delivers equine-assisted therapeutic, mental health, and learning services using a herd of 15 horses selected for temperament and movement quality, supported by indoor and outdoor arenas, a Santomero Family Foundation Veteran Center, an equine-assisted learning classroom, and dedicated therapy offices. Endeavor is described as the only therapeutic horsemanship center in the United States holding both PATH International Premier Accredited Center and Eagala Designated Military Services Provider designations, and its core methodology includes a proprietary H.O.R.S.E.S. curriculum framework for Equine-Assisted Learning and a 10-week vocational therapeutic horsemanship curriculum for incarcerated women.

The organization operates four core programs: Therapeutic Horsemanship (riding and ground horsemanship for individuals with disabilities ages 2 through seniors), Equine Assisted Learning (school-based Endeavor Empowers and Endeavor Enriches curricula), the Pathways Program (vulnerable and marginalized populations including youth in residential facilities and domestic violence survivors), and the Veterans & First Responders Program (equine-assisted psychotherapy, ground horsemanship, therapeutic riding, and vocational training delivered at no cost to participants). Mobile outreach extends programming to Bedford Hills and Taconic Correctional Facilities and VA Medical Centers; 75 weekly volunteers support operations alongside a credentialed clinical and instructional staff.

Revenue is generated through a mix of session-based program fees ($100 per therapeutic lesson, $800 per eight-week session; $75-$100 plus per-student fees for school programs), annual Ringleader leadership memberships ($2,500/year), named scholarships (Charlie Rose Memorial Fund), individual and corporate donations, foundation grants (VA Adaptive Sports Grant, DAV Charitable Service Trust, and more than 15 named private foundations), branded merchandise, and community events. Participant intake requires a $100 new-participant evaluation incorporating MiraColt technology, paperwork submission, and clinician review, with 100% of need-based scholarship applications approved in 2025. Endeavor serves approximately 650 participants annually, delivers more than 3,500 lessons per year, and has served over 4,750 unique individuals since founding.
