EATA horses need winter blankets! We could also use help buying feed for December.

Blankets to keep our furry friends warm and dry run about $100/each.

Feed (hay and grain) and supplements cost approximately $250 per horse per month.

Total donation request: $2500

EATA depends on donations to board our herd and keep them healthy through the winter, so they can come back to Alaska ready to work with our deserving clients.

We are grateful for all of you who keep this amazing program going!

Volunteers of the Year

Horse of the Year

Gunner, with owner Ellie Kennedy

Gunner and Ellie volunteered their time to take riders on the trail and give our EATA horses a break. Although not a trained therapy horse, this lively morgan learned the job quickly and always took care of his riders.

Volunteer of the Year

Betty Tangeman (shown here on the trail with Janie Call and Rocky)

Betty was new to EATA and new to horses when she joined us last May. She gave 223 hours of volunteer time over the summer and quickly became a dependable team member. From assisting the Volunteer Coordinator, to leading and side-walking, to encouraging riders, to cleaning stalls, there was no job too large or too small for Betty! We appreciate her enthusiasm and kindness.
