Dear Friends of Rainbow,

As we come to the close of another year, I find myself filled with deep gratitude — for our riders, our horses, our dedicated team and many volunteers, and for you, our steadfast supporters. Rainbow Therapeutic Riding Center has now served our community for 40 years, and this past year reminded us just how vital our work remains.

In 2025, Rainbow served more than 300 children, adolescents, and adults living with physical, developmental, and mental health challenges. Demand for our programs has never been higher, particularly as families seek meaningful support for youth struggling with anxiety, trauma, and emotional regulation. While our waitlist continues to grow, so does our commitment to meeting these needs with care, professionalism, and compassion.

Our impact goes far beyond the saddle. Parents report improved communication at home, reduced family stress, and increased confidence in their children after just a few lessons. These outcomes are made possible by our exceptional instructors, specially trained horses, and a program built on evidence-based practices and individualized goals.

This year also marked exciting growth: expanded collaborations with schools, counties, and healthcare partners; continued professional development for our staff; increases in volunteer hours and participation, and strong community support through grants, events, and individual giving. Every lesson at Rainbow is subsidized — because access to improved physical health and emotional well-being should never depend on a family’s financial circumstances.

None of this would be possible without you. Your generosity fuels every ride, every breakthrough, and every quiet moment of connection between horse and rider. As we close out the year, we ask that you consider making a final contribution to allow us to continue making our students’ lives more empowered:

From all of us at Rainbow, thank you for believing in our mission and for helping change lives — one hoofbeat at a time.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Inga Janke
Executive Director
Rainbow Therapeutic Riding Center

🎄🐴 Help Us Fill our Horses’ Christmas Stockings! 🐴🎄

Our four-legged therapists have been extra good this year — and they’re hoping Santa (that’s you!) will help fill their stockings with treats, toys, and barn essentials.

We’ve put together a special Amazon Wish List filled with the things that keep our horses happy, healthy, and ready to do their amazing work with our riders.

✨ If you’d like to spread a little holiday magic, choose a gift and send some love straight to the barn! ✨

Thank you (especially from Denver!) 🥕

✨ This GivingTuesday, help us close the year with hope, happiness — and horses! ✨

At Rainbow, horses don’t just change lives — they help people discover strength, confidence, and freedom. Through therapeutic riding and equine-assisted programs, children and adults with physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges gain skills and joy that last far beyond the barn.

Our Year-End Donation Request Letter is below. We hope you’ll take a moment to read it — and consider making a gift that keeps these life-changing programs accessible for every rider who needs them. Thank you for helping our riders grow, thrive, and shine.
