Manley foundation has helped us the past few years in scholarshipping individuals with disabilities. They get riding lessons at reduced rates or at no cost. We serve children, adults and veterans with social, pychological and physical disabilities. Organzations like Manley help fill in the gaps in our endeaver to fundraise for our clients so they can become the "best they can be". "There is something about a horse that is good for the inside of a man" is well said by Winston Churchill. One of our clients who is scholarshipped is a boy named Issac. He has cerebral palsy and other developmental disabilities. When he came here at 4 years of age, he could not sit up or walk. His grandparents bring him here every other week for a riding lesson. They come from Silverton, Oregon, at least one hours drive. Soon after starting his lessons, he began to sit up on his own. As time went on he was able to walk with assistance. At age eight, he began to walk. Doctors never thought he would walk. He was not in any other therapies other than horseback riding. Small miracles to big miracles, Manley can take some of the credit for making it happen.

Mission: Manley Foundation assists those individuals and organizations who have made it their life's work, through vision, energy, and determination, to create solutions for problems facing people and communities, often against difficult and discouraging odds. But there are innumerable organizations that are too small to be considered by large foundations, charitable groups, or governmental agencies and who face a daily struggle to survive as they help meet the needs of those who have fallen through the cracks of society’s safety nets. That's where Manley Foundation steps in. Through our financial assistance, we strive to move some of the stumbling blocks out of their way. We serve as a vehicle to allow contributions for the express purpose of assisting those individuals and organizations who set out to enrich the world, touching the lives of countless thousands of people.
