Why We Ride
All proceeds benefit StirrUp Purpose, a local nonprofit offering equine-assisted services that foster healing, connection, and growth. Through therapeutic horsemanship, equine movement (hippotherapy), and specialized Veterans & First Responder camps, we empower individuals to discover strength and purpose through the powerful bond between humans and horses.
Together, let’s make an impact—one hat, one sip, one race at a time.
