Our horses are what make our program unique. They are the foundation of our work and why we exist for our participants. Horses, as you know, require considerate upkeep. Each horse has a monthly expense that includes food like grain and hay, bedding, farrier visits every 8 weeks, and routine veterinarian care.

Without our community's support we would not be financially able to sustain our herd at the capacity it is needed. Please consider donating to support our herd as we continue to supply these amazing benefits to our community.

She has the balance, core strength and confidence she never had before.

Dakota

7 yo - Gypsy Vanner

Dakota is very aptly named, unintentionally, after a photogenic state with gorgeous landscapes. Dakota's black and white coat coupled with his demeanor makes him the center of attention almost always. He is a steadfast member of our team with a calm and gentle presence.

Remington

5 yo - Gypsy Vanner

As a natural outdoorsman, Remmy prefers to be away from his stall. He can work a door bolt like no other! His natural desire to learn makes him a great riding partner and playful herdmate. He never shies away from a soothing grooming session or game of Soccer. 

Shiloh

5 yo - Gypsy Vanner

"Shiloh" means peace, tranquility, or placid nature. This horse was definitely named well. Shiloh was donated to us the Fall of 2018 from LexLin Gypsy Ranch in Tennessee. When working with participants, he is ready to train and can take individuals to a peaceful place of one-on-one interaction. When in his stall, Shiloh is always where the people are.

Willow

12 yo - Morgan Cross

She is a gorgeous mare made to love others. At her previous home, Last Chance Rescue, a volunteer who loved Willow worked with her on giving hugs to people! If you visit, Willow could demonstrate. When she isn't giving hugs, she is working hard to be a stellar riding partner and friend. Her work at Rising Hope reflects her gentle strength like a willow tree.

Banjo

5 yo - Silver Pony

This lovable gelding is every bit of a companion. He arrived the Spring of 2019 trained to drive a cart as well as ride. His playful nature can easily be seen when the herd is in pasture as he runs and hops around. While working, his mind is focused on exploring the arena and helping riders play games like "What Time is it, Mr. Fox?"
