Overview

Mission

We provide horse therapy to children with special needs at no charge. Children with special needs include children with physical disabilities, neurodiverse children, children in foster care, and children living in poverty.

What it reported doing in 2024

We run every Sunday all year except for holiday weekends and December and January. I close for rainy/winter weather. We have 9 riders every Sunday (3 horses and 3 sessions), and we have 3 sessions=Spring (March-May), Summer (June-Aug), and Fall (Sept-Nov). February is our training/prep month where I train new volunteers and new horses, and we do trail clean up. Because of the three sessions, we serve roughly 27 riders per year, but some spots are shared by siblings so it is a little higher.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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 revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
