Help Autumn Trails Stable Grow to Meet the Need - aUGUST 2025 NEWSLETTER

Every week, Autumn Trails Stable welcomes foster and adopted youth, individuals with disabilities, and caregivers into the arena to experience the healing power of horses. These moments of connection—where a child feels safe, a teen builds confidence, or a caregiver finds respite—are at the heart of our mission.

• But here’s the truth: the need is greater than our capacity.
• Our small team is stretched thin.
• We are relying on too few volunteers to meet the growing demand.

And without increased financial support, we cannot sustain or expand the life-changing services we provide.

We believe no child or family should be turned away from the healing power of horses simply because resources are limited. That’s why Autumn Trails Stable is launching a plan to scale our capacity in 2025 and beyond.

Our priorities include:

• Growing our volunteer team so every session is fully supported and safe.
• Hiring staff at fair wages, so our programs are sustainable and not dependent on burnout-level workloads.
• Expanding funding streams through grants, sponsorships, and donor partnerships to strengthen our foundation.
• Reaching more families in need, especially foster youth who benefit profoundly from equine-assisted services.

This is an ambitious plan, but it’s necessary—and it’s possible, with your help.

1. Volunteer: Whether you have horse experience or not, we need you. Side-walkers, mentors, barn helpers, admin assistance, ambassadors, event assistants—your time can change lives.
2. Donate: Monthly gifts provide the stability we need to grow. A one-time gift helps immediately meet urgent needs.
3. Spread the Word: Share our story with friends, churches, businesses, or civic groups. Awareness brings opportunity.

Autumn Trails Stable exists because of a community that believes everyone deserves healing, hope, and joy. Today, we’re asking you to be part of the next chapter—one where we grow stronger together.
