A New or Gently Pre-Owned Truck capable of towing our horse trailers. We often have to haul our therapy horses to the vet or to parades or other charitible events to advertise our program. Often we depend on the goodwill of friends to tow the horses, but this can prove problematic. We need a reliable truck capable of pulling over 8000 pounds safely. If you have a connection with a car dealership or a generous corporation/organization, please call us so that we may contact them for a contribution.

Annual Sponsorships for our Therapy Horses: $750 a month or $9000 a year to pay for all costs associated with care and maitenance of our most beloved helpers.

Monthly Sponsorships for our Riders: We allow many of our underprivledged riders to participate for free or greatly reduced cost. A monthly committment of $75 would allow  a child to ride and be granted the many benefits of therapy with our angelic horses.

Sun shade cover to go over our grooming and horse preparation areas or a "round pen" sun cover. (Keeps sun off of our riders!)

Bottled water and snacks for our volunteers.

Gift Cards in any denomination to local stores to purchase supplies for our volunteers & program. We need gift cards from vendors like: Gas stations, Costco, BJ's, Sam's Club, Publix, Home Depot/Lowe's, various restaurants, etc.

New or Gently used horse tack in good condition please. 

VOLUNTEERS! VOLUNTEERS! VOLUNTEERS! If you are 12 years or older, please come on out to the barn and lend us a hand! We give service hours. If you are an adult or a retiree, we are in great need of mature helpers and also individuals who may be interested in serving on our board of directors. Please contact us if you would like to be a volunteer!
