Give the Gift of Hope: Sponsor a Horse or Rider
Transform a Life with the Power of Equine Therapy
At Rising Hope, we believe everyone should have access to the healing power of horses, regardless of financial barriers. Our Horse & Participant Scholarship Fund makes this possible—ensuring that individuals in need can experience the joy, confidence, and growth that equine-assisted therapy provides.
By sponsoring a rider or therapy horse, you’re not just giving financial aid—you’re giving the gift of healing, strength, and possibility.
How it Works.
Sponsor a Participant
Your donation provides financial assistance for a rider who would otherwise be unable to afford therapy sessions.
Sponsor a Therapy Horse
Your gift helps cover essential care, including veterinary visits, farrier services, feed, and equipment—keeping our therapy horses happy, healthy, and ready to serve.
One-Time or Recurring Gifts
Choose to make a one-time donation or become a monthly sponsor for continuous impact.
Receive Updates
Sponsors receive exclusive updates on the rider or horse they support, including progress reports, photos, and heartfelt thank-you notes.
