01What it does

What Horse to Heart does

Mission

Children are matched with horses for the purpose of teaching life lessons, such as responsibility, work ethics, commitment, goal setting, and unconditional love, to name a few. The horses come to us in ways of donations, rescues and purchases. We are able to give unproductive horses a home with meaning and purpose. We take an active part in the community, teaching youth community service. We participate in the presentation of the colors at different events throughout the community. Our children volunteer at community functions and are represented in local parades.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.

Program

  1. DURING THE YEAR 2024 we rescued 2 additional horses that were in need of refresher courses to prepare them for a useful life. Each required dietary supplements and training. We continued reaching out and involving children through our program; teaching life lessons and core values through the relationships with the horses. Our partnership with the LADP cadet program expanded to include LA City College as well as continue with Monroe High School magnet program. Posse continues to meet regularly and grow in numbers. Families continue learn and grow through their relationship with the horses and other ranch animals.

Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
