County, Colorado
Scope of Work for Trio Therapy Partners
Trio Therapy Partners is requesting to provide Recreational/Therapeutic Therapy for Children.
Trio Therapy Partners specializes in offering Hippotherapy, Equine Facilitated Learning and
Therapeutic Riding these three categories fall under a bigger umbrella of Equine Assisted
Activities and Therapies. We started in the summer of 2014 as a collaboration of providers
providing services and assessing the viability of establishing a program in Eagle County. It was
met with great success and positive outcomes from every participant. Our EFL program has
been running through the winter and our hippotherapy program will start again June 1st of 2015.
Trio Therapy Partners is run and owned by Kristi Moon and Lauren Shaeffer. Kristi specializes
in our EFL programs and Lauren specializes in our hippotherapy services and both therapists can
also provide Therapeutic Riding Instruction as well as group services. Our programs are based
out of the Mountain Valley Horse Rescue site primarily in the colder months and we transition
our program to a property on Brush Creek Road (5 miles from the town of Eagle). Both Kristi
and Lauren hold certifications (please see Experience section below) and Trio Therapy Partners
is a proud center member of the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship
International (PATH).
Trio Therapy Partners currently offers two primary services: Hippotherapy and Equine
Facilitated Learning. We also offer a Therapeutic Riding instruction if more appropriate for each
client's needs. These innovative strategies utilize the equine as a therapeutic partner to achieve
specific goals. The natural stride, rhythm and demeanor of the horse allow them to offer a unique
healing opportunity to the client as well as provide feedback regarding balance, stability and
sensory input. Horses are also great teachers of self-awareness; they are keenly alert, intuitive,
emotional, and authentic animals. Horses maintain a state of constant awareness because their
survival depends on instinctively scanning all aspects of their environment. Interacting with
horses can help illuminate our patterns of contact by allowing us to receive direct and immediate
feedback from the horse on our intentions, behaviors, and incongruities. In addition to these
benefits the clients tend to enjoy their relationship with the horse which greatly increases their
desire to participate in therapy.
Equine Facilitated Learning (EFL) is an educational approach to equine assisted activities. The
Trio EFL Program is a blending of several principals including Gestalt Therapy to facilitate
personal growth, social and emotional development, and other life skills through equine
interactions. These activities can include ground work or mounted riding with our equine
partners. Benefits include but are not limited to; improved self-awareness, self-esteem and self-
confidence, greater understanding of leadership and decision making skills. These activities can
improve the understanding of an individual's non-verbal skills and fosters a greater connection
within relationships. Equine Learning can benefit but is not limited to the following conditions
and diagnoses; Attention Deficit Disorder, Autism Spectrum Disorders, abuse issues,
developmental, learning and emotional disabilities.
Hippotherapy, derived from the Greek word "hippos" meaning horse, is a unique treatment
strategy used by Physical, Occupational and Speech therapists as part of a clients individualized
treatment plan. This strategy is used to address underlying impairments and functional
limitations of participants. Benefits include but are not limited to; increased strength and
flexibility, improved coordination, circulation and breathing, while also promoting sensory
integration and self-confidence. Hippotherapy can be an excellent strategy for a variety of
diagnoses and impairments including but not limited to; Traumatic Brain Injury, Spinal Cord
Injury, Stroke, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's, Cerebral Palsy, Developmental delay, Spina
Bifida, Down's Syndrome and Autism Spectrum Disorders.
Therapeutic Riding (TR) is an equine assisted activity for the purpose of contributing positively
to the cognitive, physical, emotional and social well being of individuals with special needs. TR
provides benefits in the areas of healthy education, sport and recreation. The primary focus is
teaching riding skills to individuals whom may need specialized instruction and adaptations.
Therapeutic riding participants demonstrate improvement in flexibility, balance and muscle
strength as well as an amazing platform to enjoy the outdoors.
Trio Therapy Partners also offers group services for a group of children and or families.
These unique therapy services are proven to be a powerful alternative and supplement to
traditional therapy methods for improving the functional performance, quality of life and the
social and emotional well-being for individuals and their families.

We do accept funding from other sources with a letter of authorization and a fee schedule. TTP
requires authorization letters from funding agencies BEFORE a participant can register for a
session. Letters from agencies must be submitted on letterhead and can be emailed to
trioeaat((gmail.com or mailed TTP at P.O. Box 4002, Eagle, CO 81631. Please contact your
funding agency ASAP to begin the process.
