Together, We Keep Hearts and Horses Thriving.
Why give to Hearts?
-
Give a Horse a Second Chance
Your donation helps rescue horses recover from neglect, trauma, or kill pens and start a new life with purpose.
-
Support a Therapy Partner
Horses in our program provide life-changing benefits to riders, and your gift helps keep them healthy and ready to serve.
-
Cover Essential Care
From feed and supplements to farrier and vet visits, donations ensure every horse receives top-quality care.
-
Help Retired Horses Thrive
Some of our horses are nearing retirement, and your support helps them transition into loving homes with dignity.
-
Invest in the Healing Journey
By donating to a horse, you play a direct role in helping children and adults build confidence, strength, and emotional well-being.
-
Be Part of Their Story
Your contribution connects you to a horse’s ongoing journey—you become part of their care, their growth, and their legacy.
If you’re exploring other ways to give, we would be so appreciative of quality horses who can thrive in our program. We look for calm, trustworthy partners who can carry riders around 200 lbs and enjoy connecting with our community.
Want to brighten our barn?
If you’d like to support Hearts in a hands-on way, our Amazon Wishlist is filled with items that make a big difference in the daily care of our animals and riders. You’ll find things like a new bed for Pepper the potbelly pig, enrichment toys for our hardworking horses, important supplements, helpful organization supplies for our tack and volunteer spaces, and even Montessori-style toys for the children who ride at the barn. We’re so grateful for anything you choose to give.
