Overview

Mission

By partnering with horses, we help people realize their individual potential through customized equine-assisted services.

What it reported doing in 2024

To provide equine assisted servies to individuals with physical, cognitive, social, and emotional needs.

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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
