Unlocking Magic with Between Horses and Humans

In 2023, Between Horses and Humans embarked on a transformative journey. We relocated from our home of over 10 years at Maddi's Friesian Ranch to another local ranch in Gardnerville, NV. While this change has opened new doors for us, it has also revealed pressing facility needs that require your support.

We are incredibly grateful for the generosity and support we've received from our community and sponsors throughout the year, making 2023 a tremendously successful fundraising year. However, to make these crucial facility improvements, we require additional funds.

Our commitment to providing a welcoming and nurturing environment for children and youth remains steadfast. To maintain and enhance our mission, we need your help with the following projects:

• Barn Doors: Installing barn doors to provide warmth and shelter to our horses during winter days (Estimated cost: $5,000).

• Fencing for Pasture Updates: Adding additional fencing to update our pastures for the safety and well-being of our horses (Estimated cost: $3,000).

• Storage Container: Acquiring a storage container to address our equipment and materials storage needs (Estimated cost: $3,000).

• Office Space Update: Creating a dedicated office space to safely store program-related files and conduct meetings (Estimated cost: $3,000).

• Additional Shelters: Purchasing three additional shelters for our pastures, ensuring the comfort and protection of our equine companions (Estimated cost: $12,000).

We're thrilled to announce that throughout the "6 Weeks to $16k" campaign, we will hold weekly drawings of donor names, and the winners will take home special prizes! The prizes will be announced at the start of each week, beginning October 23rd. It's our way of showing our gratitude for your incredible support.

We invite you to be a part of our mission and make magic happen in the lives of children and youth. Your contributions will directly support these essential updates that will help us continue transforming the lives of young individuals.

Your support means the world to us. It's not just about improving our facilities; it's about ensuring a brighter future for the children we serve. Together, we can make the magic happen, and together, we can build a better world for our young people.

About Between Horses & Humans

At Between Horses and Humans (BHH), we believe in the transformative power of connection. Our programs work like magic, turning fear into confidence, aggression into patience, and timidity into self-esteem. Through these incredible connections between youth and our horses, we create lasting change.

Our mission at BHH is to provide a welcoming and non-judgmental space where children and youth can set aside the labels and challenges of their everyday lives. Here, they connect with their authentic selves, learning life-changing skills by caring for and handling our horses. Our classes and workshops are both fun and educational, combining various methodologies to teach leadership and life skills through horsemanship.

The magic and love of horses foster calmness and resilience in children, empowering them to tackle life's challenges with newfound strength. We firmly believe that every child deserves a future filled with love, joy, and hope. By supporting our mission, you're helping us build a brighter future for these deserving young souls.
