View Here At Red Horse, we believe in the wisdom and healing power of horses—we witness it every day. Horses help people heal, grow, and find hope, and we’re so grateful for the generous, caring people (like you!) who make this work possible. This May, we’re once again teaming up with the “Seen Through Horses” national fundraising and awareness campaign, alongside 90+ other amazing nonprofits focused on equine-assisted therapy. We’d love for you to be part of this powerful movement. What does being an ambassador mean? It’s simple—you’ll help spread the word and raise funds to support Red Horse throughout Mental Health Awareness Month (May 1–31, 2024). Every dollar raised goes directly toward our programs, including: Horses Empowering Youth (& Educators), Mental Health & Wellness Pride and Ally Community Support Workplace Culture: Trauma-informed & supported Herd Support (covering feed, vet care, and more for our beloved horses) How can you help? You can make a BIG impact in small, fun ways: Share our campaign on social media & encourage others to get involved. Host a mini-fundraiser—bake sale, trivia night, or charity auction! Reach out to friends, family, or coworkers and invite them to support. Get creative! Any idea that raises
