 Volunteers are the heart and soul of our program!!
 
"The seeds our volunteers and donors plant bloom through our riders...the more we water our seeds the more beautiful the program becomes."
                                                                                                    Colleen Randall
 
It takes 2-3 volunteers per equestrian to make their dream of riding become a reality!!
 
"I deeply enjoyed side walking Diego yesterday. He is a sweetheart. I loved it at the end, when he was touching the horse and gave us a sweet smile. Also, Mason hugging Kicks was a blessed moment. See'ya next week. Let's enjoy our weekend!!!"

Carrot Club 
The therapy horse is the #1 tool and requires constant care and schooling to provide the safest environment for the riders, volunteers and staff.  Sponsor a program horse.  The Carrot Club is designed for persons who wish to donate funds to help with the expenses of feed, shoes, veterinary care, annual health care, supplements and much more.

Hay has nearly doubled in price and we are having a hard time finding quality hay for our equine therapists.  They give 150% and deserve the best!  We currently feed costal bermuda or a grass mix such as timothy/brome/orchard or similar.  Please help us keep these horses happy and fed well...feed donations are greatly appreciated.  We feed MFM Senior feed, Stockman's 12% and Safe Choice.  We also feed a rice bran supplement.  We purchase most of our feed at Rancher's Supply on River Rd. in Amarillo, although the safechoice and stockman's pellets can be purchased locally in Dumas.
