Hello Everyone! I’m in the process of starting a therapeutic riding program and I’m hoping you can help…
Wild Hearts Therapeutic Equestrian Program is in the process of incorporating as a non-profit in Massachusetts and obtaining its 501©(3) status. Since obtaining non-profit status is quite a long and involved process, we aren’t able to embark on any fundraising or apply for grants at this time. But - we’re very eager to get started… even on a very small scale!
Does anyone know of a facility with an indoor arena - on the South Shore of Massachusetts within a reasonable distance from West Bridgewater - that might be willing to allow Wild Hearts Therapeutic to use its facility and horses to give therapeutic riding lessons and possibly hippotherapy sessions?
I know this sounds like a lot to ask - but we can get creative as to “payment” - perhaps a portion of the lesson fee, barn chores, etc… We’ll ensure proper insurance coverage, work out a formal agreement, etc…
I’d love to talk with anyone who might be interested to explore how we might make this work! Most therapeutic programs have waiting lists, and I’d love to get Wild Hearts Therapeutic up and running while we’re filing all the non-profit paperwork.
If you or someone you know of might be interested, send me an e-mail at jlovely@wildheartstherapeutic.org.
Thanks so much!!
