Become a Champion for Change

Keep the Barn Doors Open—Change Lives Today

At PonyUp4Kids Foundation, we believe in the healing power of horses to transform lives. Every gift you make helps us provide equine-assisted programs that bring hope, confidence, and joy to children, teens, adults, and families in need.


Your donation supports:


  • Children and teens with special needs, including autism and developmental challenges
  • Survivors of abuse and trauma seeking healing and resilience
  • Veterans and their families working through stress and transition
  • Underserved communities who benefit from the compassion of horses
  • Rescued horses who find new purpose as partners in healing


When you give generously, you don’t just feed horses or fund sessions — you transform lives. Your gift becomes part of a legacy of compassion, resilience, and hope that ripples through our entire community.


Transformational Giving Opportunities

  • $1,000 → Sponsors the care and feeding of an equine healing partner for someone in need
  • $2,500 → Provides 4 weeks of equine-assisted help sessions for 8 people in need.
  • $5,000 → Sponsors the farm itself, safeguarding the sanctuary where children, families, and veterans find peace and strength
  • $10,000+ → Establishes you as a cornerstone of our mission, sustaining programs and horses for generations to come


Large gifts are not just donations — they are acts of vision. They keep the barn doors open, ensure rescued horses find purpose, and guarantee that children, survivors, and veterans continue to receive the healing they deserve.

Empowering the Community with PonyUp4Kids

When Mia first arrived at PonyUp4Kids, she barely spoke. At just 10 years old, she had already endured more than most adults—her family had fled domestic violence, and she was navigating the emotional aftermath in silence. Traditional therapy hadn’t reached her. But then she met Cody, a pony with a gentle spirit and a story of survival of his own.


At first, Mia simply brushed Cody’s coat, quietly listening to the rhythmic sound of hooves on soft earth. Over time, she began to talk—to Cody, then to her instructor, and finally to other children in the program. She learned to lead, to ride, and to trust. Each session built her confidence, one hoofbeat at a time.


Mia isn’t alone. Every week, children and adults from underserved communities, veterans and their families, cancer patients, individuals with autism, and those in recovery from addiction come to PonyUp4Kids seeking healing. What they find is more than just a horse—they find connection, compassion, and a path forward.


Your tax-deductible donation makes stories like Mia’s possible.

  • It gives a child the chance to feel safe again.
  • It helps a veteran reconnect with hope.
  • It supports someone in recovery as they rebuild their life.
  • It offers a moment of joy to a cancer patient in the midst of treatment.


Every dollar you give helps us provide equine-assisted programs that foster resilience, emotional wellness, and lifelong skills. You’re not just funding a ride—you’re fueling transformation.

Donate today. Help us change lives—one hoofbeat, one heart, one story of hope at a time.

Donate Now — Be the Spark of Healing

Your gift today helps rescue horses and uplift people from all walks of life—survivors of domestic abuse, cancer patients, veterans and their families, individuals with autism, those in recovery, and children from underserved communities.


Every dollar creates:

  • Safe, therapeutic equine experiences
  • Confidence-building programs for those facing emotional and physical challenges
  • A second chance for rescued horses to become healers


Together, we’re building courage, compassion, and connection—one hoofbeat at a time.
