Overview

Mission

To stimulate interest in horse showing and provide healthy sportsmanship and competition.

What it reported doing in 2025

About 200 members, most of which are children, were able to show their horses and ponies in numerous horse shows and relate activities where they were able to practice good sportsmanship and proper care of their animals.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 85% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
