Overview

Mission

To provide a place in perpetuity where people with disabilities can be successful, equal and capable, growing to their maximum life's potential through interaction with horses in a positive environment. We accomplish our mission by providing recreational, educational, and sport programming, including vocational/pre-vocational opportunities to youth at-risk and persons with disabilities. Individuals are accepted without regard to race, religion, ethnicity, or socioeconomic background.

What it reported doing in 2025

Returning to positive life pathways has two components. At-risk youth from one behavioral group home come to learn about horse care as well as ride. Their goal is to take life lessons learned with horses and adjust their own thinking so that they can pursue positive life pathways. Youth in this group home are not necessarily from our part of Texas. The boys group home listed in 2024 acquired their own in-house therapeutic riding program. One of their youth graduated back to family and now comes as part of our weekday Mosaic program. The girls group home (still with us) continues to guide their youth toward positive outcomes. Adjudicated youth assist with facility maintenance. This year 1 such student gave 10.5 hours weeding, picking up litter and/or manure, and washing fence. Adjudicated youth leave understanding that doing the right thing is a better choice in life. Success rate for these students stands at approximately 95% choosing to stay in school and complete their education.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

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