Overview

Mission

The organizations mission is to provide therapeutic horseback riding and other services for children and adults that promote and enrich their physical, developmental, psychological, and social well-being to encourage them to reach beyond limits.

What it reported doing in 2024

Therapeutic Riding Summer Camp - Three Weeks: The organization hosted therapeutic riding summer camps designed for children and youth with physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges. Each week-long camp offered a supportive and engaging environment where participants received daily riding instruction, learned basic horsemanship, and participated in a variety of team-building and creative activities. The camps focused on building confidence, social skills, and physical coordination through structured interactions with horses and peers. At the end of each week, campers participated in a showcase event where they demonstrated the skills they had learned. Families and friends were invited to celebrate the riders achievements, the friendships formed, and the fun experienced throughout the week.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
