Where Your Gift Goes

Accountable. Transparent.
Traceable to Real Outcomes.

The Equestrian Aid Foundation does not abstract its impact into slogans. Every grant has a recipient, a crisis, and a documented outcome. The money flows directly to equestrian industry professionals in need — trainers, grooms, riders, service providers — no bureaucratic delay.

Ways to Participate

There Are Many Doors
into This Community

Direct giving is one path. Monthly support, tribute gifts, horse show partnerships, and retail programs are others. Every door leads to the same place — equestrians in crisis getting the help they need.

Monthly Giving

CHANGE REIN Monthly Giving Program

A recurring gift is the most powerful kind. When you set up a monthly contribution — any amount — you give the Equestrian Aid Foundation something irreplaceable: reliability. The knowledge that relief grants will be there next month, and the month after, for whoever needs them. Change the rein. Keep going. That's all it takes.
