Help us give charles a permanent home

For the past two seasons, Charles—our gentle giant standing at an impressive 19.1 hands high—has been an incredible part of our program. His calm strength and kind nature have helped students grow in their skills, confidence, and connection.

Now, we have the opportunity to make Charles a permanent member of our school family. Owning him will ensure he continues to bless the lives of our students for years to come.

💛 Why We’re Fundraising

We’re raising funds to purchase Charles and provide for his ongoing care. Your generosity will not only help bring this remarkable horse into our program permanently, but will also enrich the educational and spiritual growth of our students.

A generous donor has already offered to cover all of Charles’s boarding costs—we just need your help to purchase him and make him officially part of our school program.
