it takes all of us
The work continues
Last year, we served on average 72 participants each week. Thanks to the growth of our herd and the dedication of our team, that number has grown significantly — now reaching 106 participants each week across riding, unmounted, and specialty programs.
This growth isn’t about filling spots; it’s about meeting real needs. Every new horse and every additional session means more individuals gaining confidence, connection, and joy through the power of horses.
But a bigger herd means bigger costs: hay and feed, veterinary care, training, and more. Each horse brings hope to more people and it’s only possible with your continued support.
Equine-Assisted Services for those who need it most.
High Hopes subsidizes 80% of the cost of services for our participants. It’s the only way we can ensure that families who need us the most don’t get turned away. Your donation could make all the difference in the life of a child or adult who relies on our services for critical physical, emotional, or cognitive support.
Your gift will allow these essential services to continue to grow, bringing new friends into the fold, and maintaining the thriving community our current participants love.
