Holiday Donation Match 2025
All donations up to $10,000 doubled!
make your donation go twice as far this holiday season
Winter is the time when our herd rests and our team prepares for another year of breakthroughs — and your support helps set the stage for every confidence-building, life-changing moment that’s coming in 2026.
By way of our Holiday Donation Match campaign, all donations up to $10,000 will be doubled, thanks to the kindness and generosity of one of our supporters.
Our small 501(c)3 nonprofit organization is 100% dependent upon the community’s support during the winter season, when lessons are not possible due to inclement weather. The Holiday Donation Match will help support our program as we take this time to lay the ground work for even more life-changing moments in 2026.

“HorseSense has given me unconditional acceptance and support. Ever since I started horseback riding I have been more open minded about what life throws my way and I don't shut down like I used to. Personally I don't think I would be the person I am today without HorseSense.” - Krystail, a HorseSense participant
You support is keeping our mission growing strong
HorseSense is dedicated to enriching the lives of youth, adults and military Veterans with and without disabilities through a partnership with the horse. We strive to improve the bodies, minds and spirits of riders by providing weekly adaptive horseback riding lessons and unmounted lesson opportunities that:
Improve physical health
Provide a sense of accomplishment and control
Create a positive environment for learning
Emphasize the capabilities of each rider
In 2025 alone, HorseSense welcomed over 60 individuals through our barn doors - each with their own story, their own goals, and their own breakthroughs. In 2026, we’re ready to do it all again by reaching more individuals and creating more unforgettable moments of growth and connection. Your support this winter is what makes that possible, helping us prepare for the year ahead and build a strong foundation for the impact to come.
Every Donation is a life changed and a new memory made in 2026
“The horses have never minded if Erik told stories that were hard to understand. They don’t mind if his speech is delayed or his balance is off. The horses understand him better than most humans. To see him riding independently, mastering the two-point and trotting is nothing short of a miracle.”
-Marlis O’Brien, Erik’s Mom
