• Providing a safe environment for our participant

Sponsor a Rider – $200

If you are interested in sponsoring a rider, Project ASTRIDE will choose a rider based on need. Your $200 will pay for the rider’s tuition for one session of eight classes and may also cover the cost of the rider’s administrative fees, helmet, or other equipment needed to participate. As a sponsor, you will receive a Thank-You-Note from the rider as well as pictures of the rider participating in the program.

 

Sponsor a Horse – $2,000

If you are interested in sponsoring a horse – Project ASTRIDE owns several horses that are available. Your $2,000 will pay for the horse’s needs for one year including boar, feed, veterinary expenses, and farrier costs. Monthly sponsorships are also available. As an annual sponsor, you will receive a certificate and picture or your horse to display in your establishment, as well as pictures of the horse at work in the program. You will also receive a Thank-You-Note from one of the horse’s riders.

Volunteers must be 16 years or older and be physically sound enough to walk around a sand footing riding arena for 1/2 hour at a time.

Become involved otherwise

Project ASTRIDE needs individuals to fundraise and grant write for operating expenses and start-up grants. We need individuals with can help build the future. Board members are welcome from all professions. Strong community ties and involvements are a plus. Project planners who can navigate the “systems” of construction, finance and non profit law are needed. Organized individuals who want to succeed are wanted.
