2025 Appeal: Because of YOU

Because of you, joy fills our arena every single day. Riders sit taller in the saddle, young girls discover confidence they never knew they had, volunteers smile with pride, and families witness breakthroughs they once only dreamed about.

At Special Equestrians, our mission is harnessing the healing power of horses to help transform the lives of children and adults with disabilities. We see healing in many forms: a child laughing as a horse nuzzles her hand, a parent wiping away tears of pride, an instructor quietly celebrating a small but mighty step forward. These moments may seem simple, but they are life-changing — and they happen because of you.

“Every time a rider connects with their horse, it’s like watching courage take shape,” shares Leslie, an instructor at Special Equestrians.

Every gift you give ensures that our horses are well cared for and that our programs continue making a meaningful difference in the lives of those who rely on us — many of whom face significant physical, emotional, or developmental challenges. Your generosity allows these individuals to receive the support they need to grow and thrive while experiencing the joy and confidence that comes from connecting with our horses.

With your help, we can continue creating powerful moments of healing and growth for the children and families we serve today. As you consider your year-end giving, I invite you to make a gift to Special Equestrians. Together, we can continue building a future full of healing, hope, and possibility.

It’s possible, because of you.

With gratitude,
