Children of Promise Stable, Inc.

Children of Promise (COPS) Barn is a PATH (Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship) member-center. We serve special needs individuals. We change lives, one ride at a time.

A large part of our program depends on fundraising and donations. Our program is growing and so are our riders. We need to add a new horse, in order to handle weight and size requirements while not straining the three horses that currently serve our riders so well and so patiently.

The money we raise with this campaign will go directly to the purchase of a new horse and his initial upkeep: tack (a saddle, saddle pad and bitless bridle), the vet, the farrier and a bit of hay in his stall.

The handsome, gentle paint horse you see in the photo is named Hero, a fitting name for a future therapy horse! 

Ten dollars, twenty dollars or more—we thank you and so do our kids!

I am very pleased to once again be raising money for an amazing organization: the Children of Promise Stable, a Therapeutic Riding Center, in Nanuet NY. We are having our annual Tommy Foley 5K Walk/Run on Sunday, October 15th 2017.

My cousin, Firefighter Thomas J. Foley, gave the ultimate sacrifice on September 11th 2001. Tommy grew up around horses and was an avid horseback rider. One thing that Tommy was incredibly passionate about was sharing his love for horses within our community in Rockland County. Unfortunately he never had the opportunity to do so.

This organization helps children and adults with special needs. They are a first-class facility designed to foster positive emotional growth, independence and improve the physical and social well being of their clients. They strive to enrich lives of special needs individuals by promoting excellence in equine assisted activities.

Please help me in preserving the amazing legacy of my cousin by giving to this unbelievable organization that does so much for my community. The race will be held on October 15th at 10am at the COPS Barn at 135 Convent Road in Nanuet, NY. All are welcome and individuals can register here: https://events.r20.constantcontact.com/register/eventReg?oeidk=a07eefyhjcta1e4e1c8&oseq=&c=&ch=


Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story and for considering to make a donation. I cannot tell you what it means to myself and to my family.
