"When I Ride, I Soar"
Our Mission
Great and Small provides Equine-Assisted Activities and Therapies (EAAT) to children and adults of all ages affected by a range of physical, developmental, emotional, and learning disabilities. Through a supportive and therapeutic engagement with horses we strengthen and empower our riders, helping them develop their full potential.
Join our #SponsorEveryHorse Campaign!
Our program horses are the heart and soul of Great and Small. These 12 equine partners provide safe, confidence-building lessons and skills for our program participants, and it is our responsibility to ensure they receive the highest level of care. Help us reach our campaign goal to sponsor every horse in our herd by making a donation today.
Rider fees account for only 30% of Great and Small's annual budget. Your contributions allow Great and Small to continue to provide equine-assisted activities and therapies to children and adults with special needs. Now, more than ever, we need the support from generous donors to bridge this funding gap.
