relationship buildingTHANK YOU!
We extend a big and hearty thank you from all of us at Horses for the Spirit for the recent donations we've received from several of our friends. Your financial support, no matter how big or small, enables us to continue offering our programs to youth in our community -- and although these kids might not know you personally, we guarantee they are grateful for your support.
