Healing Beyond the Ordinary

---

Life can be overwhelming. Stress, anxiety, major transitions, and personal challenges affect thousands of people across Dutchess County and beyond. At PonyUp4Kids Foundation, we believe true healing doesn’t have to happen in a traditional office setting.

Our Body Mantra Equine Wellness Sessions invite you to step outdoors, connect with horses, and discover a powerful new path to balance, resilience, and renewal.

Developed by neuroscientist Dr. Christine Grimaldi, the Body Mantra Method blends science, mindfulness, and the intuitive wisdom of horses to restore harmony in mind, body, and spirit.

Who We Serve:

• Everyday Professionals: Doctors, lawyers, teachers, and caregivers often carry the weight of high‑pressure careers. Our sessions provide a restorative space to reset, recharge, and reconnect.
• Survivors of Abuse & Trauma: Horses create a safe, compassionate environment where survivors can rebuild confidence, process emotions, and rediscover inner strength.
• Veterans: Between 2,000–4,000 local veterans live with PTSD or transitional challenges. Horses help veterans ground themselves, reconnect, and find peace.
• Individuals & Families: Nearly 2,000 children in Dutchess County are on the autism spectrum, and thousands more adults live with autism or diverse needs. Our equine-assisted sessions foster confidence, communication, and resilience for people of all ages — children, teens, and adults alike.
• People in Recovery: Healing is a journey that requires strength, support, and new ways to reconnect with yourself. Our equine-assisted wellness sessions provide a safe, non‑judgmental space where individuals in recovery can release stress, rebuild confidence, and restore balance in mind, body, and spirit. Guided by the Body Mantra Method, horses help you ground, gain clarity, and discover resilience as you move forward on your path to lasting wellness.
• Community Members: More than 50,000 residents struggle with stress and anxiety. Horses offer a unique path to emotional clarity and balance.
