Lift the Reins

Welcome to Happy Trails’ Annual Adopt-A-Thon!

Each year, we invite our community to help “adopt” a portion of our vital equine-assisted programming—whether that’s a rider, a horse, a class, a ride, or just a smile. Your generous contribution supports our mission to enrich the lives of children, adults, and veterans with physical, cognitive, and emotional disabilities through therapeutic horsemanship. From $25 for a “Smile” to $2,500 for a full “Rider,” each level of support directly benefits our riders and helps sustain the care, instruction, and spirit that make our programs possible. Join us in making a difference—one adoption at a time.

  • We are getting close to 150 riders here at Happy Trails! Sponsor a rider, and that money will go to a rider scholarship, which will pay for the certified riding instructor and all program materials for that rider throughout the whole year!

    You will receive:  recognition plaque, 4 tickets to each 2026 Happy Trails event, and other special perks throughout the year.

    > ADOPT A RIDER

  • We have 19 horses and a miniature donkey in our Happy Trails herd. If you sponsor a horse, that money will go directly to the care of that horse: feed, vet expenses, bedding, & equipment.

    You will receive:  custom recognition sign on the horse’s stall, 2 tickets to each 2026 Happy Trails event, and other special perks through the year.

    > ADOPT A HORSE
