Fundraising
Hosting and participating in fundraising is a process that takes time and money. We have to spend funds to get the word out to everyone, buy goods to sell, and pay for fuel to get to events off-site.
Equipment
Many of the clients that need hippotherapy need accessible tack or equipment to help them get on the horse. This equipment is key to the client's success.
Facility
To provide hippotherapy or equine-assisted psychotherapy, WPEA partners with an equine facility. There is a cost for using the facility and the horses for both types of therapy.
