Help us Feed the Herd!

Give to the Max 2026:  Help Us Feed the Herd! 

At Changing Gaits, our horses are at the heart of everything we do. From healing through equine therapy, to trail rides and loving the men in the sober house on the property. They give so much to the people we serve, and we want to make sure they have everything they need in return. 

This past summer, the drought took a serious toll on our pastures. Normally, we rely on pasture for much of our horses’ forage and supplement during the summer months; with about one bale of hay every couple of days. Since June, we have sometimes needed nearly two bales a day or every other day just to make up for what the pastures could no longer provide.

With the rising cost of hay and other feed, including senior feed and beet pulp, these unexpected expenses have put extra pressure on our small nonprofit. This year’s Give to the Max, we are asking you to help us feed the herd!

As Galatians 6:2 ESV reminds us, “Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” We are asking our community to come alongside us and help carry this burden so our horses can continue doing what they do best. 

Proverbs 12:10 ESV tells us, “Whoever is righteous has regard for the life of his beast.” Caring for our horses means making sure they have the nutrition they need, even when circumstances make it harder.

Every donation, big or small, helps provide hay and feed for the horses who give so much of themselves to others. Help us keep the feed coming, the horses healthy, and the mission of Changing Gaits moving forward.

Thank you for supporting our ranch, believing in our mission, and helping us care for the horses who make it all possible!
