That’s a wrap on Giving Tuesday… and even our mascot is DONE. Oscar has declared himself , and honestly? Same.

It’s been a long, busy, heart-full day of storytelling, sharing, posting, refreshing, thanking, updating, and cheering on this incredible community. We’re wrapping up the night grateful, exhausted… and still smiling because of supporters like you.

There’s still time for one last matched gift before we call it a day — every donation tonight gets us closer to hitting our $15,000 match and covering a full year of hay for the horses who rely on us.

💛 Last chance to give tonight: https://givebutter.com/neighitforward

From all of us — including Oscar, who worked very hard supervising — thank you for lifting us up today.

As we head into the final 2.5 hours of Giving Tuesday, we just want to say… what an incredible two weeks it has been.

Sharing 15 Years, 15 Stories has reminded us why we do this work and why these horses matter. From Kiwi and Jackie… to tiny Rolo and sweet Cola… to Millie’s fight, Tommy’s wisdom, Sam’s recovery, George’s charm, Summer & Emma’s bond, Winnie’s resilience, Pirate’s beginning, Walter’s strength, Aries’ transformation, Beau’s steadiness, and finally Hamilton’s unforgettable journey — every one of them helped shape Gentle Spirit Horses into what it is today.

Tonight we’re sharing the full graphic of all 15 stories. If you’d like to revisit them — or catch up on any you missed — here’s the full collection:
🔗 https://www.gentlespirithorses.org/blog/tag/15-years-15-stories

And as we close out this storytelling series, we’d love to hear from you:

✨ Which story touched you the most?
✨ Which horse did you learn about for the first time?
✨ Which moment or lesson stuck with you?
✨ Did any story shift how you think about rescue or the horses who come here?

Your comments tonight help more people see these stories — and they truly mean so much to us.

We’re also in the final stretch of our $15,000 Giving Tuesday Match, with just under $8,800 raised so far. Every donation is matched until midnight — dollar for dollar — and every final push brings us closer to covering a full year of hay for the horses in our care.

If these stories inspired you or reminded you why rescue matters:

And a little teaser…
this isn’t the end of the storytelling.
We’re working on a photo book that brings these 15 stories — and the horses behind them — together in one beautiful collection. More on that soon. ❤️

Thank you for celebrating 15 years of impact, heart, and unforgettable horses with us. The stories may conclude tonight… but the mission doesn’t.

Hey everyone — happy South Dakota Day of Giving!

Here’s your 6 p.m. progress update from Gentle Spirit Horses.

We are currently at $7,716 raised from 29 incredible supporters, which puts us just over 51% of the way toward our $15,000 Giving Tuesday match goal!

Every donation today is doubled, and Givebutter is adding an extra 1% to gifts made through their platform — but we only have 6 hours left to match as much as we can.

Many of you have followed along this past week for our 15 Years, 15 Stories series — stories of horses who changed us, taught us, and reminded us why we Dare to Care. From Pirate to Hamilton, each story is a piece of our history… and every single one was made possible by people just like you.

So if you’ve been meaning to give, or waiting for the right moment — this is it. Your gift right now goes twice as far and helps care for the 60+ horses, ponies, donkeys, and minis who rely on us every single day.

👉 Give here (+1% match): https://givebutter.com/neighitforward

💰 PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/gentlespirithorses

Thank you for helping us Dare to Care — and for pushing us past the halfway mark. Let’s finish strong tonight!
