Overview

Mission

Equine therapy for military veterans, law enforcement, first responders and other entities that show need to lessen anxiety and PTSD symptoms.

What it reported doing in 2025

Approximate number of veterans visiting our facility in 2024 is 40. Most are repeat visitors and have benefitted from interacting with the horses and donkeys. The barn has been under renovation so that a hospitality room and bathroom is in the process of being added to accommodate our visitors and their comfort in a climate controlled environment. Ten foot glass roll up door was added to the hospitality room for the visitors that are afraid of horses but want to visit and see what is happening. This will allow them safety behind the glass to observe until such time that they want to interact with the equines.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
