Help Us Build Open Hearts Therapeutic Riding Center

At Open Hearts Therapeutic Riding Center, our dream is to create a place where people from all backgrounds and walks of life can come together to learn, heal, connect, and grow—with horses, animals, nature, and one another.

Our goal is to raise the funds needed to create a welcoming center that will include a riding area, outdoor temporary stalls, a meeting and learning room, and a tack room. These spaces will allow us to provide hands-on opportunities for individuals to learn about horses, horsemanship, farming, agriculture, and the many ways animals and nature can contribute to healing and personal growth.

We want Open Hearts to be about much more than horseback riding. We envision a place where someone can spend time grooming and bonding with a horse, learn how to care for animals, explore farming and agricultural skills, or simply find a peaceful place where they feel accepted and supported.

We also hope to create a fully stocked fishing pond, giving people the opportunity to learn how to fish, spend time outdoors, and enjoy another meaningful connection with nature.

Our vision is to create a space where everyone has a place at the table—regardless of their background, abilities, or life experiences. Through horses, farming, agriculture, fishing, and the outdoors, we hope to give people opportunities to learn new skills, build confidence, develop connections, and discover healing in a safe and welcoming environment.

Every donation brings us one step closer to turning this vision into a reality. Funds will help us develop the facilities, provide equipment and supplies, care for the animals, and build the resources needed to make these programs possible.

We aren't just building a riding center. We're building a place where people can find connection, purpose, learning, and hope.

If you believe in our vision, please consider donating or sharing our fundraiser. Every contribution—big or small—helps us open the doors a little wider.

Welcome to Open Hearts, where healing begins with a connection. ❤️
