Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
We are aiming to accomplish equine welfare education and sustainable sanctuary. We are also aiming to strengthen the horse/human connection.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
We are holding events and fundraisers to achieve our goals. We also invite the community to tour our facilities and encourage visitors to get involved.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
By owning 42 acres, we are looking forward to holding events and fundraisers on our property. This allows every opportunity for the public and donor to see first hand what we are doing and what we hope to achieve.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Our biggest success so far is the purchase of our own facility. By no longer having to rent, it allows us more time to focus on our mission.
Additionally, we have recently constructed an 11,000 square foot indoor arena to hold educational events, therapy sessions, and our riding academy.
Further, we are so proud of our GFAS ans TAA Accreditations.
