New Year’s Greetings from We Can Ride, where lives are changing every day! We Can Ride is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, volunteer-based organization which connects horses and humans to transform the lives of individuals with disabilities and meet the evolving needs of the greater community. Our tax ID number is 41-1433903.

We serve more than 275 clients every year, with an ever-growing waitlist seeking our help. In addition to our clients with disabilities, we responded to the unique opportunities presented by the Pandemic to forge new partnerships and support a broader cross-section of the community. Equine Connections, a program new to We Can Ride in 2020, provides support and stress relief to the first responders most impacted by Covid-19. Through Equine Assisted Learning, we are providing a bright spot for residents of local group homes where they can focus on the comfort a therapy horse brings. With a spirit of adventure and innovation, We Can Ride people and ponies continue to reach those who need us the most.

As you can imagine, the last two years have been challenging to non-profits like ours. We have found creative ways to meet our budgetary needs and now are presenting our largest annual fundraiser – Horses, Heroes & Hope -- in a whole new way. This virtual Gala on March 6, 2022 from 5-7 PM will feature a VIP at-home food and wine experience, a barn watch party for a limited number of attendees, an incredible auction, fun competitions amongst attendees and more!

We are hoping that you can assist us by supporting Horses, Heroes & Hope through either a donation of goods and experiences for our auction. Every donation will help support this life-changing work for people with disabilities. Donations can be mailed to PO Box 463, Maple Plain, MN 55359.

Our staff, clients, volunteers and of course, our horses, thank you for your help! Together we will continue We Can Ride’s powerful legacy and amplify our positive impact upon our world.
