Hearts hosted its annual Barn Dance fundraising event on

at the Carriage and Western Art Museum in Santa Barbara. Guests enjoyed a live band, dinner, dancing, and a silent and live auction.
Proceeds from the Barn Dance will underwrite the cost of therapeutic riding lessons for low-income children and adults, as well as benefit our veterans program, Equine Services for Heroes, and our at-risk youth program where we partner with Girls Inc. of Santa Barbara and CALM (Child Abuse Listening Mediation).

Eligible veterans are offered volunteer, community service, and riding opportunities.

Nathaniel's Bar Mitzvah Project
|
|
Hi my name is Nate. As part of my Bar Mitzvah preparation, I am doing a mitzvah project to help improve my community. My goal is to raise $2,000 for Heart Therapeutic Equestrian Center here in Santa Barbara, CA.
Hearts helps kids and adults who have difficulties in overcoming obstacles and helps to create a place of strength, confidence and inspiration for those with different needs, just like me. I have ADHD that I have been riding here for nearly four years, I have gained self-confidence, physical strength, improved my ability to focus, as well as developed an appreciation and rapport with the horses and staff. My big sister, Rebekah raised $2000 for Hearts, as part of her Bat Mitzvah project two years ago. I hope to match or beat that number for my Mitzvah project because I want to help more kids and adults at Hearts. The money raised will go towards improvements for the main arena, as well as to horse health care.
Please help me in reaching this goal!
Thanks!
-Nate
