Annually, LiftMeUp! serves approximately 200 students and provides approximately 3,000 lessons. We are able to make a difference in people’s lives largely as a result of a cadre of dedicated volunteers who provide nearly 10,000 service hours annually. Unfortunately, their hard work is not enough to maintain the program.

The cost of caring for our kind horses, rider equipment and stable maintenance is considerable. While we do charge a nominal fee to riders, we keep this cost low to ensure that all riders have an opportunity to participate in our program. Your contributions are essential to sustaining and growing our program.

LiftMeUp! is a local 501(c)(3) charity that relies on public support. Rider fees reflect half of the actual cost of providing lessons. Our riders rely on your support to continue to receive affordable lessons. Your donation helps enable a child or an adult with a disability to ride.

Donate a "Feel Good" Session for your favorite horse!

Just like people, horses can benefit greatly from therapies like accupuncture, massage and chiropractic work. Anybody can make a donation to sponsor a "Feel Good" session for their favorite LiftMeUp! horse. The cost of a bodywork session ranges from $200-300, depending on the work done. To make a donation for bodywork for a specific horse, contact Jackie at jackie.collins@liftmeup.org.

Thank You 2022 Tooth Fairies!

We would like to thank all the tooth fairies that sponsored a horse for the LMU 2022 Tooth Fairy campaign. Your support went a long way in helping to cover the cost of getting the teeth floated for every member of our herd.
