About Forward Together. 2025 Year End Campaign
Dear Friends –
Because of your generous donations, We Can Ride has made measurable and meaningful progress in advancing our mission this year:
Thanks to you, 90+ riders were served in therapeutic riding and hippotherapy, gaining not just joy, but the vital core strength their bodies need.
Your gifts helped us welcome 95 new EAL participants, whose smiles lit up the arena as they met a horse for the first time.
Your partnership made it possible to build a hay shed that protects essential feed—keeping our horses fueled and healthy through all of Minnesota’s weather.
Every milestone we've reached—every life empowered—has been possible because of donors like you. Your belief in our work has fueled real momentum, and as we look at the year ahead, your continued support is more important than ever to sustain and grow this vital mission.
In a year when nearly 40% of nonprofits are operating at a deficit, We Can Ride continues to move forward with determination and purpose. Like many in our field, we face real challenges — but we meet them with the grit, creativity, and an unshakable belief in the power of what we do that has defined us for over 40 years.
Make a difference today. Give to We Can Ride before the year ends and help us continue changing lives. Your support directly ensures more individuals can experience their own unique, profound connection with our horses and ultimately, with themselves.
I know that, together, we can continue to do extraordinary things.
Best Regards,
Nita Hughes

Daisy's Story
Learn. Grow. Thrive. Ride.
Dear Friends at We Can Ride,
Daisy has a very long and complex medical history, including Witteveen-Kolk Syndrome, focal onset epilepsy, autism, and significant motor, speech, and neurological challenges. We’ve worked with countless providers over the years, but nothing has had the impact that We Can Ride has had.
What makes it even more incredible is that this wouldn’t have been possible without the scholarship We Can Ride provided. It lifted a financial burden that would have made access to this kind of therapy nearly impossible for our family. Because of that scholarship, Daisy has had the chance to grow, heal, and thrive in ways we never thought possible.
But it’s not just the therapy. It’s the people. We Can Ride has supported our whole family. They’ve shown up to IEP meetings, offered thoughtful recommendations, and advocated for Daisy without even being asked. They go above and beyond in every way.
— Mary, Daisy’s Mom 6/26/25
