Her new boarding school included opportunities to ride and work with horses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHorses saved my life,\u201d she said. \u201cI loved to ride them, and working in the barns taught me how to work. I fed them, took care of them and cleaned out nine stalls every day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was fitting then, on Monday, Feb. 20, that CSU broke ground on the Temple Grandin Equine Center on the Foothills Campus. The new facility, adjacent to the B.W. Pickett Arena, will be home to what may be the leading equine-assisted activities and therapy (EAAT) research program in the world. It will serve children with autism, veterans with PTSD and seniors with Alzheimer\u2019s or other dementias.<\/p>\n<h2>Two-phase project<\/h2>\n<p>The overall project, which includes two phases, is projected to cost $10 million. Construction on the first phase of the project, approximately $5 million \u2013 a 40,000-square-foot building featuring a riding arena, classrooms, horse stalls and space for CSU\u2019s Right Horse program \u2013 will begin this spring. CSU has raised $4.7 million to date.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_106090\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"width: 272px;\" aria-labelledby=\"figcaption_attachment_106090\"><a href=\"https:\/\/source.colostate.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/TGEC_021-e1581614042263.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-106090\" src=\"https:\/\/source.colostate.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/TGEC_021-e1581614042263.jpg\" alt=\"Temple Grandin groundbreaking\" width=\"272\" height=\"407\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">James Pritchett, interim dean of the College of Agricultural Sciences, Temple Grandin, CSU President Joyce McConnell and Adam Daurio, director of the Temple Grandin Equine Center, prepare to dig in at the groundbreaking ceremony.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cTemple was our inspiration, so it\u2019s appropriate this facility be named in her honor,\u201d said Jerry Black, head of CSU\u2019s Equine Sciences Program and one of the project\u2019s original planners.<\/p>\n<p>The project first was envisioned in 2014, and planning and fundraising began shortly thereafter.

The leadership team has already invested thousands of hours in research and practical application, reviewing every known equine-assisted therapy-related study from around the world.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are now considered the leader in researching equine-assisted activities and therapy,\u201d said Adam Daurio, director of the Temple Grandin Equine Center. \u201cThis will be a place where individuals with physical, emotional and developmental challenges can heal, where therapists can treat, where students can learn, where scientists can research, and where horses can be studied, cared for, and advanced. Our graduates already are the leaders in many aspects of this industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Becoming the world leader<\/h2>\n<p>Daurio said CSU\u2019s current EAAT programming already provides services for 70 people per week, and has successfully launched three tracks of research. Students \u2013 both undergrads and those working on advanced degrees \u2013 do the bulk of the hands-on research and partner with licensed practitioners and certified instructors to host appointments for participating children, veterans and seniors.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fancy-link\" href=\"https:\/\/giving.colostate.edu\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-48279\" src=\"https:\/\/source.colostate.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/CSU_StateYourPurposeSolid_RGB_357-e1456429281183.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/source.colostate.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/CSU_StateYourPurposeSolid_RGB_357-e1456429281183.jpg 350w, https:\/\/source.colostate.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/CSU_StateYourPurposeSolid_RGB_357-e1456429281183-300x67.jpg 300w\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"78\" \/><\/a>Several key donors attended the groundbreaking, and CSU President Joyce McConnell told the gathering how proud she was of the program and the donors who helped make the facility a reality.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCSU is a place that dreams,\u201d McConnell said. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t surprise me that we will be the best in the world.
