Little Bit Therapeutic Riding Center is a community where horses transform the bodies, minds, and spirits of people with disabilities. Healthy horses are critical to the Little Bit mission. Simply stated, no horses, no programs.

During #GivingTuesday, we ask our community, both current and new supporters, to provide hoof care for our horses. Our goal is to raise $34,000, or 60 percent of Little Bit's hoof care expense in 2025. We can reach our goal with your help!

Are you active on Facebook or Instagram? Consider creating a personal fundraiser to support our hoof care efforts and encourage your friends to contribute as well.

Your #GivingTuesday gift toward hoof care could be doubled, thanks to generous challenge funding to be provided by James & Judy Rams, George & Kim Suyama, Juliana Tioanda, and Dan Zinsmeyer. Every $1 received will be matched with $1 up to a total of $17,000. Little Bit will only receive the challenge funds if our community makes its gifts*. Thank you to these four families for doubling the impact your gift makes!

*Little Bit has received $5,000 of the $17,000 offered as a challenge, which will be returned to the donor if the challenge is not met.

Every donor who makes a #GivingTuesday gift toward hoof care of $110 or more will receive an authentic golden horseshoe by mail. Please make sure we have your address or let us know if you’d like to pick it up at Little Bit.

• Today, Little Bit has 32 horses in our herd.

• We anticipate spending over $56,800 on hoof care in 2025.

• Every Little Bit herd member requires hoof care. That care can be either barefoot trimming or trimming and horseshoes.

• Hoof care is tailored to each herd member's needs, and is scheduled every four to eight weeks, depending on their individual growth pattern.

• Little Bit works with four different hoof care professionals: one barefoot trimmer and three farriers who work with horseshoes.
