Support the Mission

Donate

All cash donations are 100% tax-deductible and directly support our youth programs and animal care. Every dollar goes toward giving a kid a life-changing experience they could not have otherwise.

We also gratefully accept new or gently used riding gear, outdoor equipment, and ranch supplies. Whether it's a pair of outgrown boots or a well-loved saddle, your generosity helps us keep the spirit of the West alive for the next generation.

Your Donation Supports:

✓ Scholarship campers who need gear or financial assistance
✓ Daily animal care — feed, bedding, and veterinary needs
✓ Craft supplies, keepsake journals, and graduation materials
✓ Helmets, safety equipment, and tack maintenance
✓ Program growth and expansion to serve more kids each year

Also Accepting Gear Donations

New or gently used riding gear, outdoor equipment, and ranch supplies make a real difference. Outgrown boots, a saddle that's not being used, helmets, work gloves — it all helps.

Give Your Time

Volunteer

Most of our workforce is comprised of volunteers. If you have a few free hours that you can dedicate to others, or a skill that can be shared, we will be happy to channel it in the right direction.

Whether you have horse experience or have never touched an animal in your life, there is a place for you here. We need people who show up, work hard, and care about kids.
