2023 Run for the Roses

Join us in the race to the finish line!

It’s time to take off on the 2023 Run for the Roses, and we want everyone to join us in the excitement! This annual race is an enjoyable fundraising event that supports the special care for our therapy horses who continuously server children and adults with disabilities.

Freedom Hooves has 10 horses in the 2023 Run for the Roses race. Our horses must be extra special to meet the needs of each of our clients. They are the most vital part of our therapy team and we are proud of the hard work they put in for us. It is our job to keep them in great shape!

Each horse costs FHTRC approximately $500 per month to care for and feed. With 10 horses in our herd that adds up quickly! We are asking you to “jockey” up and join us in raising funds to ensure we are able to continue to provide the utmost care for our therapy horses.

Our horses bring significant joy pride and confidence to each of their riders. YOU can make a difference! You can play a large role in helping children and adults with disabilities continue to improve physically, behaviorally and emotionally.

  • Pick a team! Join the FHTRC staff, volunteers, and clients in raising their funds for your favorite horse. Our goal for 2023 is to reach $1,000 per horse.
  • $1 equals one vote. Help your horse cross the finish line first!
