Ways To Help Athelas Thrive

Our Athelas horses are the heart of our program. These gentle, patient mounts are invaluable to our riders, and they receive the highest level of professional care. This includes special shoes, chiropractic work, saddle fitting, veterinary joint care, and other body work. We take great care in providing them with supplements and feed that enhances their quality of life. Sponsoring an Athelas Therapeutic Riding horse is a gift that benefits our horses and the riders who love them! As a sponsor, you’ll receive a 5x7 framed photo of your sponsored horse, and your name or business name added to the horse’s biography on our website and in our viewing room.

Your monthly, tax-deductible sponsorship is gladly received in the amount of your choosing. On average, it costs approximately $5,000 per year per horse to cover each horse’s care. Donors may fund a year, or any portion of a year.

Our horses receive the best care! We provide them with quality food, water, and shelter from the elements. Horses need other supplies too, like grooming items, fly spray, shampoo, and other essentials. That's why we've created our Wishlist to supply our hard working horses with necessities. Our Wishlist can be found here!

Your generous donation to our scholarship fund can make a world of difference for individuals with disabilities who wish to participate in our therapeutic riding program. By contributing, you provide vital financial assistance to those who might not otherwise afford the benefits of equine-assisted activities. Your support helps us offer these life-changing experiences, fostering physical, emotional, and mental growth for our riders. Any contributions help!

Donations of horse supplies like horse tack, grooming tools, feed, and stable equipment help us maintain a safe and well-equipped environment for our horses and riders, ensuring the highest quality of care and service. By contributing supplies, you directly support our mission to empower individuals through equine connections. Every donated item makes a significant impact, allowing us to focus more resources on our programs and the individuals we serve. Please contact us if you have a donation!

We are always looking for volunteers- no horse experience necessary! Please see our "Volunteer with Us" page for more information.

We host a number of events each year, with the proceeds benefiting our program. Keep in touch by following us on Facebook or Instagram!

Sharing our mission and posts on social media and within your community helps tremendously in spreading awareness about Athelas Therapeutic Riding.

Each share, like, and comment creates a ripple effect, bringing us closer to our goal of empowering individuals through equine connections.
