LEAD Therapeutic Riding is among New Mexico's premier equine-assisted therapy programs.

The healing power of the horse/human connection positively impacts the cognitive, physical, emotional and social well-being of children and families in our community.

🎄🌟🎁 We're celebrating the countdown to Christmas and today we celebrate the gift of FUN.

The work we do here is serious, but that doesn't mean we can't have fun along the way.

And FUN is definitely part of what LEAD Therapeutic Riding is all about.

Throughout the year, we host several special parties and fun events for our riders and their families, from our annual Christmas party to festivities celebrating the 4th of July and Halloween.

If you'd like to donate to our "sunshine fund" to help offset the costs of food and supplies for these events, we'd love your participation!

🎄🌟🎁 We're celebrating the countdown to Christmas and today we celebrate the gift of OUR RIDERS.

We are so inspired by the wonderful riders who are the reason we are here doing what what we do.

Our greatest joy is in watching them overcome obstacles, learn to trust, gain confidence and grow in independence.

Our riders give back to us as much as we give to them.

We're excited to welcome even more children and their families into the LEAD family. After our winter hiatus, we'll be resuming sessions in March for our spring session.

If there are families in your network who would benefit from LEAD Therapeutic Riding, please send them our way!

🎄🌟🎁 We're celebrating the countdown to Christmas and today we celebrate the gift of HEALTH.

Some of the children in our program live on the poverty line and experience food insecurity, unsure of where or when their next meal will be available.

Others simply work up a hearty appetite during their equine therapy session, which can be both physically and mentally demanding for some of our riders.

No matter the need, LEAD is there to fill stomachs as well as spirits. Any child in need of food will get it when they're with us, no questions asked.

You can help us stock our pantry of healthy foods and nonperishable snacks.

Shop our Amazon Wish List or contact us if you'd like to provide healthy snacks throughout the year.

🎄🌟🎁 We're celebrating the countdown to Christmas and today we celebrate the gift of our HORSES—Cash, Cueball, JR and McGee.

Who would we be without these four steadfast workers and friends? They are truly the best "employees" any organization could ever wish for! 🐴

This holiday season, if you're feeling so inclined, please include our horse team on your gift list. They definitely deserve a spot on Santa's "NICE" list! 🎅

We always welcome donations of horse feed, hay and special treats for our four-legged friends.

If you'd like to give a special gift to our fearless four, contact us!

🎄🌟🎁 We're celebrating the countdown to Christmas and today we celebrate the gift of GENEROSITY.

We are truly humbled by the outpouring of support we've received from individuals and businesses who have stepped forward with their time, talents, valuable in-kind donations and generous financial gifts.

We simply could not do what we do without you!

A million thanks for being the wind beneath our wings. Every dollar and every donation helps us fuel our operations, grow our programs, recruit more volunteers, reach more children and families in need, and achieve our biggest goals.

YOU are a gift to us!

As we head into the new year, if you or your organization feel called to support our mission, we'd love to have your support and look forward to working together to make great things happen.

LEAD Therapeutic Riding is so proud to be part of the community. Making a positive impact in the lives of children and families in our community is what fuels our mission.

We'd love to speak to your community or church group, or to health care, mental health or education professionals, about LEAD Therapeutic Riding and to serve as a community resource for anyone seeking therapeutic services for families in need.

🎄🌟🎁 We're celebrating the countdown to Christmas and today we celebrate the gift of VOLUNTEERS.

We are blessed to have some of the most dedicated and passionate volunteers around!

From working with riders in the ring to baking treats and assisting with our annual Christmas party to helping raise awareness of our mission in the community, we are so grateful for every minute and every hour that is donated to the cause.

In January, we'll be opening up registration for our spring season beginning in March. We'd love to have you join us!
