who gets to have them?
If these experiences matter,
We want to change that.
The world of horses can offer extraordinary opportunities for connection, learning, responsibility, recreation, and growth. But access to that world has never been evenly distributed.
We want to change that.
What does Access Actually Mean?
AFFORDABILITY
Programs people can realistically participate in, supported by scholarships and subsidized opportunities when needed.
OPPORTUNITY
Creating entry points for people who may never otherwise encounter the horse world.
BELONGING
Building an environment where someone doesn't need to already “know horses” or look like a traditional equestrian to feel that they belong.
ADAPTABILITY
Developing opportunities for different ages, abilities, backgrounds, and levels of experience.
CONTINUITY
Not simply giving someone one encounter with a horse, but creating pathways for those who want to continue.
