GIVING ISN'T JUST ABOUT MAKING A DONATION. IT'S ABOUT MAKING A DIFFERENCE.
Our Forever Home is secured! This past year, our community and supporters have helped us build out the barn and prepare the property to welcome horses and humans in need.
The final project that will allow our horses and programs to transition to our Forever Home is fencing. $229,000 has been raised for this project, and we're $50,000 away from reaching our $279,000 goal.
We know you have many options when it comes to your charitable giving. Please know that your support of Ride On St. Louis means so much to us and truly has a tremendous effect on our ability to serve those in need. Consider a special year-end gift to bring us "home for the holidays."
Help us reach our goal by December 31st so we can bring our horses and programs Forever Home!
