Mental health support isn't one size fits all.
Sometimes it looks like:
๐Ÿšถ Movement that helps regulate the mind and body
๐Ÿค Mentorship and encouragement from caring people
โค๏ธ A supportive community where you belong
๐ŸŒฟ Being in nature and away from daily stressors
๐Ÿ“… Consistent routines that create stability and confidence
Healing and growth can happen in many formsโ€”and sometimes it begins with a horse.

This summer, we are fundraising to fully support our programs for the next 3 months.

Your donation helps individuals and families access meaningful mental health support in a unique and powerful environment.
Every gift matters.
Every ride matters.
Every person matters.

This vital work is only possible through community support. The cost of feeding our herd, maintaining our facilities, and providing financial assistance for participants continues to grow.

We are raising $45,000 to cover three months of programming costs including new and special events such as a Participant Horse Show, Thursdays in Pella, a new reading program, and Horse & Art Camp. Every donation helps someone experience hope, connection and healing. Join the Grace Herd by donating. https://www.gracetr.org/donate

This Memorial Day, we honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. We are deeply grateful for all veterans and the opportunity to serve and work alongside them at Grace Therapeutic Riding. Through the healing connection with horses, we are proud to support those who have served our country.

Not every illness is visible.
Mental health awareness matters because people deserve support before they reach a breaking point.
Sometimes healing begins simply by feeling safe, seen, and connected.
That is what we hope to provide here every day.

Our mission at Grace TR is to empower horses and humans to become who God created them to be and to do His work. Weekly we work with over 40 participants who are developing their confidence in who they are each and every day in whatever battle they are fighting. Horses respond honestly and without judgment, helping participants build trust, awareness, and calm through connection and movement.

Meet Peanut:
Peanut is curious, fun loving, and very smart. He is tuned in to his participant and quickly picks up on their emotions, body language, and words. He is usually the first to greet you in the pasture.

If you are interested in sponsoring Peanut or one of his friends, click here to learn more https://www.gracetr.org/sponsor.

Volunteer Spotlight ๐Ÿ’™ Our volunteers are part of creating a safe and encouraging environment for every participant who walks through our gates.

Our volunteer says it the best "Why I love volunteering is the interaction with not only the participants and horses but the other volunteers as well. Love the sense of community that has been cultivated. The barn is as therapeutic to me as the participants. My happy spot........"

Mental health support takes community โ€” and we are incredibly grateful for the people who give their time, compassion, and care to this program.

Thank you to all of our volunteers who help make healing possible!
