Horses and Equipment
The horses used at Whitewater Therapeutic Riding are truly the spirit of the program. While they do come in a variety of breeds, shapes, colors and sizes, there are some traits they all must share — they must be gentle and tolerant, “bomb proof” and sound. Please contact Joyce Scott at 208-469-0617 if you are interested in donating a horse. Horses should be between 6-15 years of age and no taller than 15.2hh without special farrier or nutritional requirements. A trial period at the facility is required before final acceptance.
Donations of horse care items in good condition are appreciated as is good quality hay, large or small bales. Contact Mike Kossler 208-940-2111 to coordinate hay donations. Watch for the Trick or Treat Hay campaign in October.
Monetary contributions are always welcomed. Therapeutic riding programs provide a tremendous amount of benefit to individuals with disabilities. However, the care of horses and providing the necessary equipment for riders make the programs quite costly to operate. If you are interested in making a contribution to help support Whitewater Therapeutic and Recreational programs , please contact us at 208-469-0617 or donate through the donation button on this web site.
