You Can Make A Difference ...

SDTRHR subsidizes participant lessons; lesson fees cover less than 40% of our programming costs. Our budget requires us to raise the remaining amount of our budget through grant opportunities, fund-raising and donations from individuals and businesses.

SDTRHR wants to remain truly accessible to the disabled in our community; we are committed to not turning away anyone due to inability to pay. In order to offer our services to those in need, we offer sliding scale scholarships to our participants who are experiencing financial difficulty. Currently 30% of our participants are receiving some form of scholarships.

We need your help to ensure our ability to provide high-quality, individualized equine-assisted sessions for individuals with physical and emotion challenges in our community.

Please consider a tax-deductible gift today. Every gift will make an impact in the life of those we serve.

We will then mail an acknowledgement to the person of your choice informing them of the memorial/honorary gift.

SPONSOR A HORSE: Our horses, the life blood of SDTRHR, are one of our largest expenses. At this time, we board our horses and it is very expensive. To help defray the extraordinary expenses associated with our four-legged therapists, you may sponsor a horse for a month, quarter or a year.

For your gift of sponsoring a SDTRHR horse, a plaque will be placed on the horse’s stall stating the name of the donor. In addition, you will receive a photo of your sponsored horse and your name will be listed in the SDTRHR newsletter and annual report. To sponsor a horse download the contribution form.

SPONSOR A PARTICIPANT: Because of the financial hardship realized by parents or caregivers of children/adults with disabilities, sometimes the cost of therapy is beyond their means. To assist these families and make certain this therapy is available to all who seek it, SDTRHR seeks funding for scholarships and offers them to those families who demonstrate financial hardships.

If you are interested in sponsoring a participant in need of financial support, please download the contribution form and designate the amount you are able to donate.
