**Equine Assisted Therapy: A Vital Service in Need of Support**

Did you know that Equine Assisted Therapy is often not covered by insurance? For many riders, this life-changing service can be a significant financial burden. However, thanks to the generosity of our community, financial assistance is available through our scholarship fund.

Your donations make it possible for us to continue offering this therapeutic support to those who need it most. Every contribution helps ensure that no one is turned away due to cost.

If you’d like to make a difference in the lives of our riders, please consider donating to our scholarship fund today. Together, we can continue to provide the healing power of horses to those who need it most.

Thank you for your support!

You can donate via our website www.gaitway.org or Venmo

Hey everyone! Our current cooler broke, and we’re in need of a new one for the barn; it’s hot and we’d hate for our riders and volunteers to not have access to cold water. Would anyone be willing to purchase one off of our Amazon wishlist? https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/33LXMBYMS1ZPY?ref_=wl_share
