2025 has started in an unprecidented fashion with so many unknowns ahead of us.  Of one thing we are sure -there will never be a greater need for mental health than in the months ahead of us! With so many critical needs being addressed by grantors we work with, we know funding via federal programs will likely change drastically.  We will need our local community support MORE THAN EVER NOW. What is so wonderful about neighbors is they help eachother when times are hard.  Your small contribution (even a small automatic monthly donation) can pool with others to help a large number of individuals we can serve.

We'll be able to :
keep helping, with the incredible healing powers from our amazing equine partners, our clients and their families who struggle daily with the challenges of physical, emotional and social difficulties. This is a community based multi faceted opportunity that occurs outside clinical settings and provides a safe and welcoming setting in nature for clients and their families. 

An example -  When we first started our Equine Services for Veterans many years ago our first participant came to us through the VA - he had been moments away from pulling the trigger of his service revolver when family intervened and got him to the VAMC .  He literaly has said "if it had not been or these horses I would not be here today" - His miraculous journey took him from participant to volunteer to board member and first time horse owner in his 60s! With all the news about reductions in services through the  VA anything we can do to support our veterans who gave so much for us is critical.

Our grief and bereavement  program has also been very well received - whether due to loss of a family member or some other tragic loss, family supports with our horses have been incredibly successful supports.

With you support we can continue to help with our special horse partners as we have done over the past 25 years.
