Sonrise Equestrian Foundation

Team equine is a working ranch program geared towards children facing social and emotional challenges. Supervised by adult volunteers, the kids participate in chores, horse science, riding, and arts & crafts. The activities incorporate life skills like responsibility, work ethic, empathy, and manners. Sonrise fosters an environment where the kids can build solid relationships with each other and with positive role models in a healthy community.

Traveling tails is a program that brings miniature horses into children's hospice and care homes to visit children who are near the end of life or facing serious medical issues. The minis also visit special needs schools and camps, working with children who have autism and other developmental delays.
