Promoting physical, cognitive, emotional, and social well-being of individuals through faith-based equine-assisted recreational activities and therapies.
G.E.M. (or Gaitway Equine Ministries) is a faith-based outreach of Branded Cowboy Church, focusing on recreational therapeutic healing of children, adults and veterans with disabilities, mental health issues, or those in need of any type of healing from past or current trauma, as well as their families. We serve Northern Minnesota and beyond in order to help the individuals and their families move beyond merely surviving to a place where they are thriving. Our primary tools are Equine Assisted Psychotherapy, Equine Assisted Learning and Therapeutic Horseback Riding. We utilize state-of-the-art assistive technology. We believe that all individuals have the right to enjoy life. It is our aim to provide a positive atmosphere where people are valued and respected, and potentials are realized while having fun. We are dedicated to supporting our volunteers and donors by maintaining excellence and being fiscally responsible. We are committed to following all applicable rules and regulations pertaining to our organization.

Gaitway is committed to providing high-quality therapeutic riding and non-riding programs which aim to improve quality of life by promoting physical, cognitive, emotional, and social well-being of individuals through equine-assisted activities and therapies. Our desire is to touch the lives of veterans, victims of sexual exploitation and trafficking, individuals with disabilities, mental illness, or addictions, and at-risk youth by helping them achieve their maximum potential. We also serve their family members, as well.
