Havenwood Equestrian Center

At Havenwood Equestrian Center, every gift makes a real and lasting difference in the lives of the economically disadvantaged teens we serve. Our students come to us facing academic challenges, social pressures, and personal obstacles—but through the structure, mentorship, and responsibility of working with horses, they begin to discover their strength, confidence, and potential.

This year, we asked our students how the program has impacted them. Their responses say it all:

• “Being a part of this program has helped me be more confident… It has shown me a side of myself that makes me feel strong and positive.”
• “I’ve really picked up my grades, and it has helped me find a new love for horses.”
• “It has helped me manage my time more efficiently and persevere through difficult times.”
• “I’ve done better in school… and I learned not to end on a bad note, which can apply to every aspect of life.”

Your generosity provides more than riding lessons. You’re giving teens a safe, supportive community. You’re helping them grow academically and emotionally. You’re opening doors to responsibility, resilience, and hope.

Our Goal: $5,000 by December 31

We have a big dream for the coming year—to expand our program so we can welcome more students who are waiting for a place where they can grow, belong, and thrive. To make this possible, we are aiming to raise $5,000 by the end of the year.

And thanks to a generous supporter, the first $1,000 donated will be matched dollar-for-dollar—doubling the impact of your gift.

Every contribution moves us closer to giving more teens the chance to discover who they can become.

Thank you for believing in our mission and making this work possible.

Together, we can change lives—one student, one horse, and one act of generosity at a time.
