Updates:
As of June 1, 2016 we have gotten our 501c3 and are officially a nonprofit.
As of June 1 2018 we were able to complete the purchase of fencing panels for the arena.
As of October 2019 we were able to purchase a dedicated tack shed.
Goals for 2020
Build on going relationships with sponsors and create a scholarship fund to assist in the session costs for those in need.
We operate on a small budget for what we do and half of our financial resources come from paid sessions. About half of our needed resources also comes from donations. Please consider donating to help the small ranch do big things in the lives of those that come out.
We want to be able to invite anyone that wants to come, but we need you to make this happen. The ranch and volunteers are ready, but we need to file paperwork and obtain insurance. Once we are able to raise $6,000 we will be able to open within a week.
Right now we have 9 horses available for the program and over two dozen children waiting to be able to come out.
Phase 1:
The goal is $6,000 to cover this phase. We will be able to purchase insurance, hire a lawyer and file necessary forms for a non-profit and 501c3.
This is our arena.
Phase 2:
We have a 60 foot round pen that we use but we want to be able to use our 120 ft x 160 ft arena. In order to do that we have to have solid fencing for safety. We have half the needed posts and need 27 more. Then we also need panels or boards to go around the arena. We need liability signs and a dedicated tack shed again for safety. The goal for this part of the project is $13,000.
Phase 3:
This part will be the on going piece of horse and child sponsorships.
Each horse can be sponsored for $100 a month or $1,000 per year. Each child can be sponsored for $40 a week or $150 a month.
Donations that come in beyond the $6,000 goal will be put toward the next phase of the ranch.
