Overview
Mission
To improve the quality of life for children and adults with physical, mental, emotional, behavioral, social, and/or spiritual needs by providing activities and therapy through the interaction with horses.
What it reported doing in 2025
Massage therapy is also available from individual therapists to the organization's special needs clients to assist in their riding therapy and day-to-day activities. Massage therapy has been shown to loosen and relax painfully tight muscles due to various ailments, allowing those with special needs to improve upon their functional skills while promoting relaxation and well-being, reducing stress, improving sleep, and developing deeper emotional connections with family members and friends.
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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Expenses are high relative to revenue and assets have declined or grown slowly.
