Sponsor A Rider or Lesson

Currently 48% of our clients benefit from Horses of Hope OR’s Scholarship Fund. We are aware that the cost of Equine Assisted Therapy represents a financial burden to some families. Individuals with special needs incur greater expenses related to medical care, education, transportation, recreation, and daily living. Because therapeutic riding provides such profound and positive effects we are deeply committed to ensuring that our program services remain affordable. Horses of Hope OR’s costs to provide this much needed therapy is $115 per session, yet through HOH’s Scholarship Fund we are able to subsidize our clients. Clients and their families co-pay amount is income based and ranges from $5.00 to $35.00. We consider full-pay $35.00 for a lesson.

By sponsoring a rider, a lesson, or a term (typically 7-8 weeks) you are ensuring that the power and benefits of therapeutic riding remain accessible to everyone!

Horse Sponsorship

The horse sponsorship program provides the funds to support the yearly cost of caring for our horses and helps underwrite feed, shavings, horseshoes, veterinary care, tack, stall management, and other indirect costs such as utilities and facilities maintenance. The cost to feed and care for one horse at Horses of Hope OR averages $3,000 a year.

For our programs to be safe, effective and successful for our clients/riders, it is critical our horses be healthy, happy, and sound. We are most grateful to those generous individuals, organizations, foundations and businesses that help fund the care and feed for our therapy horses through their annual tax-deductible sponsorships. We rely on our licensed professionals, instructors, and hundreds of volunteers to provide services, as our horses are essential to HOH’s ability to provide our therapeutic riding programs to our clients.
