Flatirons Community Equine Foundation

Our Mission

Our mission is to expand access to safe, inclusive, and empowering equine experiences by providing scholarships, community outreach, adaptive riding opportunities, and specialized equipment for individuals with disabilities and financial need.

believe every rider deserves access to safe, inclusive, and empowering equine experiences. Your donation to Flatirons Community Equine Foundation helps remove financial and physical barriers by funding scholarships, adaptive riding programs, and specialized equipment.

Our Programs

Community Scholarship & Access Fund

The Community Scholarship & Access Fund provides need-based financial assistance to ensure equine education and riding opportunities are accessible to all community members, regardless of age or financial circumstance.

Equine programs are often cost-prohibitive for families and individuals experiencing financial hardship. Without scholarships, many participants are excluded from educational and therapeutic benefits associated with horsemanship.

Adaptive Equipment & Safety Fund

The Adaptive Equipment & Safety Fund supports the purchase of specialized equine equipment and training of instructors required to safely serve riders with disabilities and accessibility needs.

Adaptive saddles, mounting blocks, safety equipment, specialized tack, and trained professionals are essential for inclusive riding but represent a significant financial barrier for equine programs.

Why your support matters?

    Help everyone who has a desire to experience the healing that comes with horses as we build a community where all backgrounds and abilities feel safe.

  • Support Community

    In a post pandemic Colorado we are striving to bring people together. Help us connect one person, horse, and heart at a time.

  • Support Education

    We teach more than just how to ride, we teach physical wellbeing, life skills, and problem solving… not to mention all the things the horses teach us.

  • Your Donation

    Your support helps make horsemanship accessible to everyone. Donations to Flatirons Community Equine Foundation directly support our programs and camp scholarship fund, ensuring that financial barriers will not prevent individuals from experiencing the healing, confidence-building power of horses. Together, we are creating more than riders—we are building knowledgeable horse people, strengthening community connections, and opening doors for those who need it most.

    Horses provide powerful opportunities for physical development, emotional regulation, confidence-building, and connection.
