Dear Friend of Spirit Horse,

The holidays are a time for reflection, gratitude, and hope for the future. As we look back on 2024, we are overwhelmed with appreciation for the incredible magic you, our supporters, have made possible at SpiritHorse Equine Assisted Center. We’ve accomplished so much together, and we couldn’t have done it without you.

2024 Highlights: Empowering Lives Through the Healing Power of Horses

This year has been extraordinary, filled with milestones that have strengthened our mission and expanded our reach:
* Welcoming New Participants: We expanded our equine-assisted programs, serving more clients than ever before—including youth at risk, children with diverse abilities, and veterans.
* Securing Spirit Horse Ranch: Thanks to your support, we’ve created a beautiful, safe home for the life-changing programs that touch so many lives in our community.
* Facilitating Thousands of Equine Experiences: Each session brought hope and healing—helping veterans process trauma, empowering children to build confidence, and fostering resilience for individuals facing unique challenges.
* Strengthening Community Ties: Through events and collaborations with local agencies, we have broadened our network of support, building a stronger, more connected community.

Your Role in Spirit Horse’s Future Spirit Horse Ranch is more than just a physical space—it’s a sanctuary of hope, healing, and transformation. Our vision for 2025 is ambitious: to launch new initiatives like youth camps and expand services for veterans to deepen our impact.

But we can’t do it alone.

Now, more than ever, we need your help to bring our vision to life. Your generous support ensures we can:
* Continue providing life-changing equine-assisted services.
* Maintain a welcoming and safe environment for all participants.
* Expand programs to meet the growing needs of our community.
