Overview

Mission

Equine related promotion and education.

What it reported doing in 2025

We have recovered from the effects of Covid and have now gotten back to normal operations and it is expected that 2026 should be a very good year including youth scholarships and supplementing youth involvement in various horse associations.

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 - 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 revenue has declined or grown slowly.
