Horses for the Spirit
We provide a learning and working environment where clients feel challenged, respected and accountable. Participants in our programs experience a unique opportunity to make new discoveries, learn, grow and heal through horseplay. Our primary focus is on youth in northern Nevada, particularly those at risk of failing in traditional settings.
Happy Holidays!
Dear Friends,
Horses for the Spirit is already looking to 2010 as we say goodbye to 2009. We had a great year, although not without its challenges.
This year we were able to conduct three programs (McGee Center, Social Services, Children's Cabinet), host a demonstration and hold our first annual "Wine & Spirits" fundraiser. We had booths at Art Paws in the Park, the Wild Horse & Burro Expo and some of our girls from the McGee Center program received free entry with great seats for the Parelli Celebration so they could see natural horsemanship from some top people. We also received a grant from the Reno Rodeo Foundation in 2009.
Reports in the news say that non-profits have had a tough time due to the economy. We are extremely grateful for all the support we received this year -- in terms of financial support and hours spent volunteering for us. Regardless of the economy and financial constraints, Horses for the Spirit will continue to serve as many kids from Washoe County as we are able. Thanks to all of you who contributed in any way, shape or form!
From the Horses for the Spirit "family" to you and yours, we wish you the best this holiday season! We look forward to serving the community in 2010 and hope you'll join us along the way whether you volunteer, donate or just keep up with us through our newsletters.
