Financial health
We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Programs described in its return (1)
- $84,427 spent. CONDUCTED 562 SESSIONS TO 40 RIDERS DURING 2025 TO PROVIDE RIDERS WITH DEVELOPMENTAL, EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL NEEDS THE EXPERIENCE OF RELAXATION THROUGH HORSEBACK RIDING. THE WALKING GAIT OF THE HORSE SIMULATES THE MOVEMENT OF A HEALTHY PERSON'S PELVIS WHEN WALKING ON TWO LEGS. DURING A THERAPEUTIC RIDING SESSION, THIS ACTION RELAXES AND STIMULATES UNUSED MUSCLES WHILE BUILDING MUSCLE TONE, IMPROVING BALANCE, COORDINATION AND JOINT MOBILITY. VOLUNTEERS AND INSTRUCTORS USE THE HORSE'S MOVEMENT TO STIMULATE SPECIFIC NEUROMUSCULAR REACTIONS. FOR RIDERS WITH EMOTIONAL DISORDERS, HORSEBACK RIDING LESSONS HELP IMPROVE CONCENTRATION, INCREASE CONFIDENCE, PATIENCE AND SELF ESTEEM. A SENSE OF ACHIEVEMENT IS ALSO AN IMPORTANT EMOTIONAL MILESTONE FOR OUR RIDERS, AND ENHANCES THE MOTIVATION TOWARD RECOVERY AND FURTHER THERAPY. BONDS ARE ESTABLISHED BETWEEN HORSE AND RIDER, WHICH CAN LEAD TO CONTINUED SELF CONFIDENCE, PATIENCE, AND COMFORT. WE ARE PROUD TO OFFER SUCH A DISTINCT AND NATURAL METHOD OF THERAPY FOR CHILDREN OF ALL AGES. THE EXPERIENCE OF WORKING WITH AN EQUINE IS ONE THAT CAN'T BE MATCHED, AND WE ARE THANKFUL AND PROUD OF THE RIDERS WHO HAVE BENEFITED FROM OUR PROGRAM AND FACILITY.
