The decision was made to re-brand to our new name "Great Plains Adaptive Riding Academy". This decision was made to reduce confusion with our host facility, Due West Ranch. As a 501c3 nonprofit organization, it’s important that we are transparent with our operations and programming. Due West Ranch is the facility where our program is located, and we lease our horses from them. We value our unique relationship with Due West Ranch, as it allows us to reduce overhead costs, payroll, maintenance and management fees by sharing a facility. But, because our names were the same, we often got confusion about our programs. Great Plains Adaptive Riding Academy was selected to represent not only our location, but also to let everyone know that we offer adaptive riding lessons with levels for advancement.
