Community need/impact

Horses Help's events help to provide neccessary funding for programs to impact the population served by our organization.  This is accomplished not only through event fundraising but also through our on-site used tack store and through off-site visits to increase public awareness and promote the center.

Tacks Fifth Avenue is our discount tack store that sells gently used or new equipment for a discounted price. All proceeds from the tack store go directly to Horses Help to fund programs.

We frequently take two of our herd members, Luna and Applejack, to off-site events.  Additionally we are looking to develop a program where they visit hospitals and schools.  Both are registered Pet Partner therapy animals.

 

By completing the internship the student will have made a great impact at Horses Help which enables us to have larger, longer lasting effect on the populations we serve.
