As a part of the Engineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS) program at the University of Texas at Dallas, we, the Neigh Sayers, are engineering  a portable mounting ramp to help our project partner fulfill their goal of aiding people with special needs using the power of horses. 

Project Description

For this project, we are constructing a portable mounting ramp (which abides all safety precautions and regulations) that will assist individuals with special needs in climbing onto horses. The ramp will allow users, given proper assistance, to mount a horse with ease and will allow them to avoid discomfort or injury. Our final goal is to provide Equest’s clients an easy gateway to the life-changing experience of therapeutic horsemanship at Equest.

As a team of talented engineering students, we will design the most effective and convenient mounting ramp that meets Equest’s specifications, and then we will build a practical, working model for use by Equest and their clientele.
