How Can You Help?

Stirrups ‘n Strides is a 501(c)3 non-profit center and your donations are tax deductible.
Donations of time & money will ensure that Stirrups ‘n Strides continues to enrich the lives of our riders as well as those around them. 

Volunteer: You can make a real difference in someone’s life. Horses are amazing creatures that can provide therapeutic benefits to people with a wide range of disabilities. By volunteering with us you can help to provide these individuals with the opportunity to experience the joy and healing power of therapeutic horseback riding. We will provide you with an overview of our program, as well as training on various volunteer opportunities. No horse experience required.

Donate: Therapeutic horseback riding is a powerful service that can help people with a wide range of physical, emotional, and mental health challenges. However, it can be expensive to provide these programs, especially for non-profit organizations.

That’s where you come in! We are asking for your help in donating professional services such as farrier, dental for the horses, and maintenance on the farm. These services are essential to the care of our horses and the success of our equine therapy program.

Your donation of professional services would help us in a number of ways:

  • It would allow us to provide therapeutic horseback riding to more people who need it.
  • It would help us keep our horses healthy and well-cared for.
  • It would reduce our operating costs, which would allow us to reinvest more money into our programs.

We know that you are busy, but we hope that you will consider donating your professional services to help our therapeutic horseback riding non-profit program succeed. Your donation would make a real difference in the lives of the people we serve.

Here are some of the professional services we are in need of:

  • Farrier
  • Equine dentist
  • General farm maintenance
  • Building repair
  • Electrical work
  • Plumbing work
  • Painting
  • Landscaping

Sponsor: Therapeutic horseback riding can be a transformative experience for children, providing them with physical, mental, and emotional benefits. It can help improve their balance, coordination, and strength. It can also help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. And it can teach them valuable life skills such as responsibility, teamwork, and self-confidence.

Our therapeutic nonprofit provides horseback riding lessons to children with disabilities. We believe that all children deserve the opportunity to experience the benefits of horseback riding, regardless of their financial circumstances.

That’s why we are asking for your help to sponsor a child for therapeutic horseback riding lessons or to donate horse supplies. Your donation will help us provide these life-changing experiences to children who would not otherwise be able to afford them.

One month is $160, 10 lessons is $400 and 6 months is $960! Our families truly appreciate all that our supporters do! – >Here is our Annual Sponsor Packet

HAY! Don’t forget about us, we need sponsors too!

Horses need sponsors too! Just like athletes, they require a lot of care and attention to stay healthy and happy. A sponsorship can help cover the costs of feed, supplements, tack, supplies, shavings, hay, and more.

There are many ways to sponsor a horse. You can donate a lump sum of money, or you can make a monthly pledge. You can also sponsor a specific horse, or you can sponsor a group of horses.

No matter how you choose to sponsor a horse, you can be sure that your donation will make a difference. Horses need sponsors to help them live long, healthy, and happy lives.

Here are some other ways you can help:

  • Make a one-time donation
  • Set up a monthly recurring donation
  • Volunteer your time
  • Donate supplies or equipment

Volunteer, Donate, Support and Sponsor! 

No matter how you choose, you’re making a difference in someone’s life. Thank you for your compassion and support!
