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.

Back to the Ranch Fundraiser

Goal: $4000 for transportation costs.

Our little herd has worked tirelessly all summer (see photos), and now it’s time for them to head for winter pasture. Program Director Janie Call boards them at her ranch in Oregon and works with them all winter to keep them in shape for the next therapy season. At their winter home, they are able to enjoy pasture life, a milder climate, and time to bond as a herd. It’s a win/win for horses and riders!

How you can help

It costs $800 per horse to trailer them down the AlCan, which is a savings compared to the cost of boarding them in Alaska. Three of our horses have already had their transportation paid. Can you help with these others? We would appreciate any donations toward the total cost of $4000, so that we can provide our horses with the best care and keep them in shape for the 2022 therapy season. You can donate through our facebook page or using the Donate link on this website!
