Give Back to Exceptional Equestrians

The Gift Is In Giving

​While every holiday season is meaningful, this year it has an extra-special feel. After nearly two years of uncertainty, stress and separation, we look towards the future with hope. 
Although Exceptional Equestrians has certainly not been exempt from the challenges of the past two years, we've had two amazing constants in our lives- our incredible clients and our fantastic equines. No matter the situation of the moment, whether it be total lockdown or open for business, our horses have been there, with furry noses and big eyes, looking for love, attention and a purpose. 
We've also met our clients where they are at- some sessions were held on Zoom, others took their ponies for a walk and some were able to get back on a ride proudly again. No matter how they returned to us, EE was able to continue providing life-changing services to our participants who have needed the consistency of their sessions more than ever this year. 
However, like all industries, our costs have gone up. Hay, grain and veterinary care is more expensive than ever, and our clients have requested more financial assistance this year than ever before. That's why we're asking for your help. And every dollar counts!

Here's where your donation to EE will go-
$30- buys one bag of grain, which will feed 4 horses for a week
$55- purchases one round bale of hay for our equines
$75- purchases a riding helmet for a participant
$100- covers four shoes for an equine
$156- covers financial assistance for one client for our 6 week winter semester
$588- covers the actual cost to provide one client 6 weeks of therapeutic riding session 

Every week at Exceptional Equestrians, more than 140clients receive life-changing benefits from their sessions with one of our amazing horses.

We can’t do it without your help.
Client fees cover less than 30 percent of our services and we depend on personal contributions, grants, and fundraisers to make up the difference. While our program is growing, unlike many other organizations, an increase in clients actually increases our need. Would you be willing to help make a difference in the lives of our exceptional clients?
The service provided by EE is so much more than a pony ride. “You can’t”, “it’s not safe”, “they’ll never…walk/talk/run/eat” are phrases heard each and every day by our clients and their loved ones. At EE we provide a fun, supportive, safe environment where “Yes, YOU CAN” is heard each and every day.

For the last 30 years, Exceptional Equestrians has worked within our community to provide individuals with disabilities the services they need. Thanks to the help of more than 130 volunteers each and every week, EE has expanded our services and now offers Therapeutic Riding, Licensed Occupational and Physical Therapy, Summer Camps, Equine Special Olympics, unmounted ground activities and sessions for individuals with mental health diagnosis. We also provide services to United States Veterans at no cost to the veterans.
Every donation makes a difference!
