For individuals with physical and mental disabilities, most of their lives are focused on what they can't do. Angels on Horseback is a non-profit organization that focuses on what individuals with special needs CAN do! At our facility, participants can:
Meet new people and make new friends;
Challenge themselves mentally and physically;
Enjoy fresh air and the beauty of nature;
Connect with animals that only show unconditional love;
Be surrounded by people who support potential and possibility;
Build a stronger sense of self and improve their self-esteem;
Learn new skills; and
Laugh, and have fun.
To provide these wonderful benefits to our participants, we need your help. Here's what you CAN do:
Volunteer: We need volunteers to teach lessons, tend to the horses, help with a special event, handle administrative duties, join our board of directors. For more information, visit the Volunteers section of our website.
Spread the word about our mission: Tell your friends, family and co-workers about the amazing work our organization does and the benefits it provides for people with disabilities. Encourage them to get involved.
Donate money: Donate a scholarship so that an individual can enjoy therapeutic benefits of equine interaction. Sponsor an event. Help with our operating expenses - we are always looking for assistance with our day-to-day needs.
Donate goods or services: An excellent way to help is to supply items like riding gear, stable equipment, refreshments for the participants, food for horses, etc.

Home Builder's Assoc. and Wigington Contractors, Inc.
A Wonderful donation to the program was in the form of 3 truckloads of M-10 for our arena foundation! This was graciously volunteered by Joe Kelly of Home Builder’s Asso. and Chuck Wigington of Wigington Contractors, Inc. These 2 men and businesses originally donated their time and talent a year ago when they graded the driveway, road, parking area and arena for our program. They donated this and an arena full of M-10 at that time, too. It is because of their generosity and so many others that we have had our first anniversary including 24 students, 16 Volunteers and of course, the very best volunteers, OUR HORSES!! Spread the word and give these generous men your business!
