Would you like to make a difference and sponsor a child for therapeutic riding lessons or outdoor farm classes? Many families are struggling financially and your donation will really help. Our goal is to offer at least one scholarship spot in each of our classes. When you donate for a scholarship, 100% of your donation goes to the scholarship fund.
We are waitlisted for scholarships so your support is needed!
