Mission: Horse Sense Education Nonprofit is an organization aimed to improve the quality of life of humans and horses through integrative and educational programs. Horse Sense was created for the love and understanding of people and horses. First, we rehabilitate horses. Then, we build connection and partnership between horse and rider through step-by-step education. The goal of these comprehensive interactions with horses is to empower and enrich lives.

Results: Throughout 2023, Horse Sense Nonprofit joined multiple fundraising events and hosted many events. At these events, we focused on educating individuals about the different equids and equines that are part of the program. Through our fundraising, we were able to create a safe evacuation site for horses at the Lompico property. We plan to use this space for more events in 2024. Because of our beautiful supportive sponsorship, our rehabilitation efforts with Sonny, Levi, and Worthy are just the beginning of our horse rehabilitation program coming to fruition. Our education program is ramping up! We also gave information on the importance of our beautiful lady bees and how important they are for our ecosystem. Horse Sense Nonprofit hosted many programming events in 2023 that included Horse Tales, reading to the horses every first Saturday of the month. We hosted our first event at the Lompico property – a horse obstacle challenge, and our first sponsor appreciation Diamond Dinner Event. We hosted our second annual apple picking event for CASA children, where we saw lots of smiling faces. This year we were able to see how horses help people with our first team building event. The participants were able to connect with the horse and be present with them and let go of the outside chatter. Over the year Kristin worked one-on-one with 12 Veterans and 4 disabled teens to give them a supportive encounter with horses. This was freely given of her time this past year. This year, we aim to start programming through grants that will allow these programs to continue and grow.
