Help Keep Our Horses Cool with a Brew!
Did you know some of our therapy horses don’t sweat? It’s a condition called anhidrosis, and on hot
Florida days, that’s no small challenge.
One surprising (and vet-approved!) solution? A cold beer — it helps them sweat and stay healthy so
they can keep doing what they do best: empowering, enriching, and inspiring our riders.
You can be part of the magic by donating to keep our horses happy, healthy, and cool — beer and all!
Every dollar makes a difference for our four-legged therapists.
Because sometimes heroes wear horseshoes… and drink beer!
A Glimpse Into Our Joy
Mark your calendars for Give4Marion, happening on September 16-17, 2025. During this incredible 33-hour giving campaign, we’ll be raising funds to support the life-changing work we do at Stirrups ‘n Strides.
Therapeutic horseback riding is more than an activity—it’s a source of hope, healing, and empowerment. Through these programs, individuals with physical, emotional, and mental challenges gain strength, confidence, and a sense of freedom that transforms their lives. The deep connection between riders and their horses inspires progress and creates unforgettable moments of joy.
Your support during Give4Marion makes it possible for participants to experience these tangible benefits, and we simply couldn’t do it without you.
Stay tuned—we’ll share more details in the days ahead, including how you can participate. In the meantime, if you have any questions, feel free to reply to this email.
Thank you for being an integral part of this mission. Together, we can make every step count, one stride at a time!
