Please Help Our Rainbow Riders This Giving Tuesday

Today’s the day to show your support for our Rainbow riders by making a donation on Giving Tuesday!

With your help, we’ve been providing equine assisted activities to a variety of students with physical, emotional, and mental health challenges for nearly 40 years. 

Some riders want to improve mobility, others want to increase their ability to understand the world around them. The goals are as many and varied as the students who ride with us, but all of them want to change their lives for the better!

Demand for our services is now higher than ever, particularly at a time when adolescent mental health has become an epidemic and the number one health concern for parents. But we can’t do it without your donations.

We currently serve more than 300 students per year from across the area including Prince William, Fauquier, Culpeper, and Rappahannock Counties, but we have a waiting list of 70+ and desperately need funds to train both new horses and Certified Therapeutic Riding Instructors.

As we approach Rainbow’s 40th anniversary, we want to make this our biggest and best fundraising season yet! Support us this Giving Tuesday so we can support those who need it most in the community by giving as generously as you can.

With many thanks from the Rainbow Team!
