🎉 THANK YOU! 🎉

Because of your generosity, we've already raised $1,051 toward our $15,000 Keep Hope Moving This Summer Campaign goal!

Every dollar brings us one step closer to providing the daily care our horses need and the life-changing experiences our students deserve. Your support helps cover feed, horse care, therapeutic riding sessions, scholarships, utilities, and the operational expenses that keep Hope Horses moving forward.

We still have $13,949 to go, but thanks to this incredible start, we're off to a strong beginning!

Will you help us keep the momentum going this summer?

☀️ Keep Hope Moving This Summer ☀️

When Guner first came to Hope Horses, he was quiet and unsure of himself. Today, he's more confident, independent, and joyful than ever.

"Watching him follow directions and guide his horse with confidence amazes me," says his mom. "Hope Horses is more than a riding program, it's a place where he feels accepted, encouraged, and successful."

Through the patience of our instructors, the support of volunteers, and the special bond he has formed with the horses, Guner has grown socially, emotionally, and in ways that extend far beyond the arena. His favorite event each year is our Fall Fun Show, where his family gets to celebrate the incredible progress he's made.

Stories like Guner's are only possible because of supporters like you.

Summer is one of the most challenging seasons for nonprofit giving, but the needs of our horses and families never slow down. Throughout June and July, we're working to raise $15,000 to cover operational expenses and keep hope moving forward for every child, family, and horse we serve.

Your gift makes a direct impact:

🐴 $25 provides 3 bales of hay
💡 $50 pays our utility bill for one week
🏇 $100 provides one therapeutic riding lesson
🐎 $200 provides shoes for 2 horses for one month
🌾 $250 provides one month of feed
🏠 $500 helps operate the barn for one day
💙 $1,000 provides an annual scholarship for one student

"The impact goes far beyond the arena, it carries into everyday life and gives families hope, pride, and gratitude."

Will you help us keep hope moving this summer?

🎯 Goal: $15,000 by July 31

Sometimes people think a small gift won’t make a difference...

But if just 100 people gave $20 that would be $2,000 toward building a place of hope, healing, and transformation for the families we serve every day.

$20 may not feel huge.
But together, small gifts become life-changing impact.

Your $20 helps:
❤️ create safe spaces for healing
🐴 support programs that change lives
🌱 build a future where more families can find hope and connection

This campaign is not built by one giant donation alone.
It’s built by a community coming together, one act of generosity at a time.

Would you consider giving just $20 today and being part of something bigger than all of us? https://secure.givelively.org/donate/hope-horses-inc/grow-hope-campaign

And if giving isn’t possible right now, sharing this post helps more than you know!

🐎✨ Fun Fact Friday! ✨🐎

Did you know horses have nearly 360 degree vision? 👀
Because their eyes are positioned on the sides of their heads, horses can see almost everything around them without turning their heads. This wide field of vision helped them survive in the wild by allowing them to quickly spot predators.

However, horses do have two small “blind spots” one directly in front of their nose and one directly behind them! That’s why it’s important to approach horses calmly and speak to them as you move around them. 💙

Pretty amazing how these incredible animals are designed! 🐴

✨ Student Highlight ✨

Meet Walker!

Walker is a happy, laid-back boy who always has a smile to share. He loves spending time outside, swimming, watching cooking videos, and especially riding his horse, Spots! 🐴

Walker’s family joined Hope Horses after hearing so many wonderful things about the program and knowing how much he already loved horses. Since starting lessons, horseback riding has become something Walker truly looks forward to each week. One of the most meaningful parts of the experience has been seeing Walker involved in an activity he genuinely enjoys.

"Since starting horse back riding, Walker has become more verbal, his posture has improved as well as his upper body strength. Walker loves the instructors and volunteers at Hopes Horses, and looks forward to his going to his lesson each week. Hopes Horses has been wonderful for Walker." - Walkers mom

We are so proud to be part of Walker’s journey! 💙 Help us cheer on Walker in the comments!! 👏👏👏

🌱 Why We’re Growing 🌱

At Hope Horses, growth is happening because the impact of our program continues to grow.

Right now, we serve 31 riders every week, and we already have 9 students on our waitlist and it continues to grow. Families in our community are seeking the life-changing benefits of therapeutic riding, and we want to be able to say yes to every rider who needs us.

With 5 incredible horses currently serving in our program, our equine partners are working hard to support our riders. As we look to the future, our goal is to grow to 10 horses and serve up to 50 students each week.

Expanding our facility will also allow us to introduce new programs like hippotherapy, veterans services, and Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) classes, reaching even more individuals who could benefit from time in the saddle and connection with our horses.

💚 You can help us grow hope 🌱

Every gift moves us closer to expanding our facilities, welcoming more riders, and creating new opportunities for healing and growth.

My favorite part has been helping out in lessons! It really makes my day when I can help others. Grooming the horses is pretty fun too?
