Sending a HUGE thank you to our amazing community who supported Sprout on —we reached our goal and fully funded a new farm ATV, pictured here!

This essential piece of "horsepower" will be hard at work every day—hauling feed/hay, cleaning fields and stalls and keeping our farm safe and running smoothly.

Thank you for believing in Sprout and investing in the work that happens here every single day. We truly couldn’t do this without you!

Thank you to everyone who has supported Sprout this ! Whether you've donated, watched or shared the impact video, signed up to volunteer, or paid it forward in another way - we appreciate you! Together, we have raised over $10,000 today and we are less than $5,000 away from our goal of getting a new ATV for our farm! This critical piece of equipment allows us to hay and feed our horses, clean our fields and stalls and perform maintenance on our grounds. There is still time to support!

Catching up on an incredible June for Sprout! The highlight was our community coming together in support of riders Savannah Cregger and Olivia Enos as they participated at the Upperville Horse Show. The therapeutic riding exhibition brought riders from our local centers together as we highlighted equestrians of all abilities along with their incredible horses, instructors and volunteers. Sprout horses Dior and Pepper soaked up the attention and prestige, while Savannah and Olivia rode with poise and confidence. Many thanks the devoted friends who joined us ringside for this very special day!

Sprout Riding's Irelyn Diemar advanced to the Interscholastic Equestrian Association (IEA) National competition this past weekend and was awarded 8th place in a large and highly competitive field of riders. Irelyn has been a member of the Sprout team since its inception in 2021 and has always represented the core values of the team; sportsmanship, teamwork and hard work. She is always one of the first riders to come to the shows in the mornings and one of the last to leave, always ringside cheering and supporting fellow riders. Behind the scenes, she is a hands-on rider, grooming, tacking and taking care of the daily needs of the ponies she rides. IEA co-coach Carol Eichner who trains Irelyn stated, "Irelyn sets a goal in her mind and is determined to accomplish whatever she has her eyes on and this award is no different." She has been a team leader for our middle school team and will move into our high school team for the 25-26 season no doubt with more goals in mind and lots of team spirit to bring to the high school team. Well done Irelyn, we appreciate you and all that you bring to Sprout Riding!
