Between the cost of the facility, horse care, and instructor pay, to give a lesson at Healing with Horses Ranch costs us $140. Instead of charging at cost, we automatically give every student a 40% discount. We also offer financial scholarships, up to 70%. Our veterans always ride for free.
In 2023, we served 232 individuals across approximately 52 weekly group & individual sessions over the course of the year. Your donations matter greatly – as a non-profit, a core part of our mission is to make sure that we offer high-quality, accessible, services to our community.
In 2023, approximately 50% of this number went toward veterinary care, which includes chiropractic, acupuncture, supplements, and other things to keep our horses healthy & happy. They are at the center of our work, and we strive always to provide them the quality of care they need and deserve.
All donors, big and small, help Healing with Horses Ranch provide safe, affordable services to individuals with physical, cognitive and emotional challenges, at risk youth, those healing from trauma, and veterans to promote healing and independence.
Every month, our sustaining donors are a huge part of making sure we have the funds to keep changing lives through the power of the horse. As little as $5 a month goes a long way in keeping our students in saddles and our horses happy, fed, and loved.
