MISSION & PROGRAMS

Mission:
Our mission is to provide Equine Assisted Services through Education, Horsemanship and Public Service. We provide programs for Mental Health and Wellness, Equine Arts and Literacy Integration and collaborations with local charity organizations. Donations support scholarships for our programs and work with our rescue horses.

Our organization conducts Equine Assisted Services in accordance with the EQUUS Foundation Guidelines on Qualifications of Organizations Conducting Equine Assisted Services (EAS).
Our organization provides outreach and/or public education programs involving horses.
Our organization is directly responsible for the care and shelter of equines involved in our programs.
100% of our total programs and services are equine-related.

Our organization does not CURRENTLY use satellite, overflow, foster, and/or outreach facilities.
Summary of organization's recent accomplishments, goals, strategies to achieve the goals, and capabilities to meet the goals, including its long-term plans to sustain its programs:
The Marley Project is dedicated to providing equine assisted services in our area to help both horses and people. We are proud to have participated annually since 2023 in the Horses for Mental Health Campaign as a Charity Partner, bringing attention to people helping horses and in turn, horses helping people for innovative solutions in providing mental health services. The network is working to expand the role horses play in mental health and personal growth to realize our vision of a world where all mental health needs are met – together. The Marley Project provides both extensive rehabilitation for our formerly feral horses and Mustangs, as well as equine assisted learning, education and personal growth sessions for our participants. Our most recent arrival, formerly known as "Tippy," came to us in December 2024 with severe trauma indications. A missing ear, extensive scarring over his head and hind end, along with fearful behavior, let us know that he would be an extended project over time. During his initial transition with us (lasting at least 4 months), he was unable to connect and allow human interaction. Fortunately, after currently 8 months on-site, his quality of life allows him to interact with both volunteers and daily visitors, fitting into the herd and overcoming much of his ingrained fear. His physical issues have proven an advantage with several of our participants who have also suffered from physical disabilities. While he initially came to us known as "Tippy" due to his disability, he has been transformed into "Sweet Tea" due to his willingness to connect with others, and we are thrilled with that accomplishment on his behalf.
     
      In the equine assisted services arena, we are proud to have been part of an initiative integrating Mustangs into an existing equine program at Seabrook Island Equestrian Center. As we've partnered with The Mustang Summit from 2023-the present, with Bruce Anderson serving as a Mustanger (trainer and clinician) and Julianne Neal providing media services during the three day nation-wide events, we've helped place 50+ yearling Mustangs in forever homes with adopters. One such yearling, Sapphire, was Bruce’s assigned yearling in Aiken SC in the fall of 2024, and we were able to provide the connection for her to eventually land at Seabrook, where we assisted in her transition, provided training for their staff on the special circumstances of her care and provided equine assisted learning sessions for their youth participants. “Moving into a new home” became a powerful topic of creative writing and visual art integration activities, providing connections for the young ladies in their after-school program. Julianne Neal is a certified equine professional through Arenas for Change, as well as an Arts Education Administrator for K-12, providing the lessons and activities for the Equestrian Center during Sapphire’s transition.
     
      In other equine assisted services settings, Congaree has been instrumental in connecting with one of our visually impaired visitors. This gentleman is a former dressage rider who lost his sight completely of a period of years but wanted to reconnect with his love of horses. Ree has been intrigued by his visits, focusing on him, his white cane and his knowledgable touch. Our other rescue horses will be part of a new program for veterinary interns coming in August. Approached by a local vet to create an internship for veterinary specialty students, we are currently writing the curriculum to address our current national crisis of mental health in the veterinary community.
     
      With equine education and awareness as a mission, it has been a natural fit to write and publish a book about our work. We were able to release “Congaree: The Little Black Mustang From Arapaho Creek” early this year, along with an accompanying Activity Book and Coloring Book. The book set, available on Amazon, is the first in a series about our rescues called Adopted by A Mustang. We are participating in a national summer reading program for children, Gallop Into Summer Reading (wereadhorsebooks.com). We are also heavily involved in the EQUUS Film & Arts Fest and continue to create film and video productions featuring our work and the work of other like-minded individuals. Julianne’s series A Mustang Story (amustangstory.com) was the winner of the 2024 Best Equine Video series at the 2025 American Horse Publications Conference in May in Texas. Season 1 of the series includes an episode that features our non-profit and the work that Bruce did initially with Congaree, one of our rescue Mustangs. These publications and productions all feature the work of the organization.
     
     Our goals for the program are two fold: (1) to continue helping the horses that come into our path in the best way that we can while keeping our current herd and setting balanced; and (2) to share the power of horses with as many people as possible in a way that truly benefits both horse and human. With the second goal in mind, we strive to help people to help themselves with the following:
     *build the mental tools of patience, timing, problem-solving and curiosity; 
     *listen to your inner positive/negative poles to find inner balance and peace;  
     *build the muscle memory needed to access your AlphA Mindset as a reflex.
     In order to continue to provide these equine assisted services, we must raise the funding to provide for the horses in the program and often cover any fees for our participants. Our publicity, programs and productions help to make that goal possible in a small way while sharing the power of horses at the same time. We hope to continue to create such promotional material in order to increase funding coming into the rescue for the future. However, at the current time, we still must spend time fundraising to make the program possible. We have a limitation of 10 equines on the property; however to comfortably care for our herd, we have a continuing cap of 6 longterm members. We have provided opportunities for sponsorship for each long-term care horse, which also helps to offset the cost of care. One of our goals to to obtain an ongoing sponsor for each long term care horse. The publicity from the Adopted by A Mustang series will hopefully continue to bring attention to each horse and facilitate interest in the sponsorship program.
     
      While we are a “small” rescue organization in the scheme of things, our work is crucial for both the horses and the people who participate. Bruce often says, “I don’t bring in a large number of horses. Instead, I want to show how one horse (or six!) can help many people, thereby showing that horses are more important now than ever before for human wellness, if not survival.” We hope to continue to share that message for many years to come.



Please describe what steps your organization takes to ensure that:
1) all interactions between your equines and people are mutually beneficial and conducted in accordance with the Guidelines for Human-Equine Interactions stated below;
2) all equines in the care of our organization and/or equines that participate in the organization's program have access to clean drinking water at all times; nutritious food in sufficient quantity, including natural forage such as pasture grass and/or hay; appropriate veterinary, farrier, and dental care; shelter and protection from the weather; sufficient safe space to move around comfortably on a daily basis; and daily opportunity to freely interact and have contact with other equines:

As we continue to develop programs and build our rescue program, we are determined that the interactions between people and horses are mutually beneficial. Once horses are cleared for integrating into the herd, they are available to participate in human/equine interactions during sessions, visits and equine care sessions with our volunteers. It is our practice that individuals who initiate any kind of equine interaction (with the exception of targeted care or visit from a vet/farrier/etc.), go into the herd setting and allow the horses to “select” them, safeguarding the comfort and choice of the horse. The majority of interactions take place in spaces that are open to choice so that each horse is able to participate at will. There is never a situation that we could encourage that would force any horse into unnatural behavior or risk their safety in any way. We always require the supervision of one of our equine professionals during sessions and implement a time limit on the use of each individual horse, depending on the setting. Our mission involves equine education and awareness, growth and learning, so protecting the welfare of our equine partners is the foundation of everything we do. In fact, because we value the somewhat “untouched, natural state” of our Mustangs and feral equine partners, we take as much care as we possibly can to preserve their unique personalities and characteristics. They are the reason for our work.
