EP 117: On The Record: Quantum Leap Farm: Horses and Healing
Edie Dopking, Founder and Executive Director of Quantum Leap Farm speaks with host, Sarina Fazan, about the importance of providing an opportunity for children and adults with physical, cognitive and emotional disabilities and their family members to embark on a journey of self-discovery, personal growth and community re-integration through horsemanship.
Mission Quantum Leap Farm exists to empower children and adults of all abilities grow strong, achieve therapeutic goals and overcome challenges through equine-assisted therapies. Every horseman knows the relationship with a horse is special. For those with mental or physical disabilities or in the recovery process, this relationship can open the door to an entirely new realm of possibilities. Horse and human become partners in a therapeutic relationship, offering a multitude of opportunities to focus on abilities instead of disabilities, and a sense of ease rather than disease. Countless participants have overcome physical and emotional barriers through our therapeutic programs. In their sessions, we don’t focus on weaknesses, but strengths, not battles, but victories. Our mission centers on recognizing the fact that having an injury or a disability may change the way you experience life, but it doesn’t change who you are. Vision Excellence, not perfection. At Quantum Leap Farm, we envision a world where people are accepted unconditionally: warts and all. We recognize that scars and imperfections are an inherent part of every individual, and contribute greatly to our identity, beauty and uniqueness. While we may not be perfect, we can still be excellent. We want every participant who walks, hobbles or rolls through our gates to reach their fullest potential and Spread Their Wings. Services Quantum Leap Farm offers services designed to help clients recover from injury or live with mental and/or physical disability. We also offer equine activities to the general public, including individuals and corporate groups seeking personal and/or professional development. We are easily accessible from Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco and Hernando Counties.
