Matching Gift Challenge - Help Us Complete The Barn!

This Matching Gift Challenge is made possible by an anonymous donor. They have pledged to donate $27,500.00 if we can raise the same amount to complete the final phase of construction on the barn.  

Your contribution will go toward finishing the barn loft which will provide a place for therapists, community events, seminars, counseling sessions and volunteers, who are the backbone of our program, to use!

Thank you to the generous supporters who have already donated $5,000.00 to this challenge. Help us to meet this challenge, double your gift and create this new space for Rainbow!

Rainbow Riding will be hosting our annual Fun Show & Family Day on Saturday, April 27, 2019 from 10 am to 2 pm.  It will be an incredibly fun day for families from across our larger community.  In addition to a petting zoo, crafts and activities, and a raffle, you encourage you to support and be a part of this very special and important day for our riders. It is so meaningful to have a crowd cheering our athletes on as they showcase their skills. 

New this year, to promote our Fun Show & Family Day, we are also hosting an Online Horse Race on Facebook! Check out this video from Finny to learn more about how it all works.

Over the next two weeks, you’ll be hearing from each of our horses on Facebook. (If you haven’t already, like our Facebook Page so you can stay up-to-date!) Please help the horses WIN the race by liking and sharing their videos, and donating! You can vote for as many horses and as many times as you like! We will announce the winners with the most likes and donations at the Fun Show & Family Day.

Thank you for being part of the Rainbow family.  We hope to see you on April 27th and, as always, thank you for your continued support.
