Overview

Mission

Provide physical and emotional therapy through horse and farm animal interactions with special needs individuals. Educate public in therapeutic equine riding for purpose.

More than 2.5 dozen individuals benefited from learning emotional skills to cope with daily limitations. Funds provide care, board and training for animals used.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 69% 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.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
