Overview

Horses with Hearts provides recreational equine assisted activities for individuals with special needs i.e., physical, mental & emotional. Lessons are currently  weather dependent. By constructing a roof over our arena, our lessons can run without interruption. A roof will also allow us to expand from a seasonal program to a full time year round program.    

Currently we provide services April thru October & dream of the day we can provide this opportunity year round & without interruption. 

In the words of one mother, in a world full of things my child cannot do, this is something she CAN do & looks forward to. We can only imagine the dissappointment when lessons are cancelled due to rain. During 2009, over 30% of our lessons had to be cancelled due to rainy weather. 

Deliverables:

-serviced 25 students/257 lessons

-hosted field trip WV School Deaf & Blind

How will the 250K be Used?

Budget Notes: Ground & fencing around arena.
$ 250,000 Constuct a roof over the existing arena
