About us

Who We Are

Established in 2021, Ever After Equine Alliance, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, is dedicated to serving and educating individuals of all ages through the extraordinary power of equine partnerships.

Our unwavering mission is to foster a transformative and inclusive environment, where all including at-risk youth, special needs children and adults, military service members, volunteers and rescued horses come together to discover solace, rehabilitation, healing, and hope through the profound connections formed, shared learning experiences, and meaningful camaraderie.

Committed not only to empowering the lives of those we serve but also to the growth and well-being of our local community, we actively seek to partner with and support local businesses. By collaborating with these enterprises, we aim to create a mutually beneficial relationship that uplifts the community as a whole.

At Ever After Equine Alliance, we believe that fostering strong connections with local businesses not only contributes to the sustainability of our organization but also bolsters the local economy, promotes job opportunities, and strengthens community bonds. Through these partnerships, we strive to create a ripple effect of positive impact, extending our mission beyond the individuals directly involved in our programs.

Whether you are passionate about horses or share the same values as us, we welcome you to join our cause and help create a better future for these intellectual beings. Together, let us embark on a shared journey towards a brighter and more fulfilling “ever after” for all.

Our Principles

Respect

We value and cherish the strong bond that exists between humans and horses. This partnership is built on a foundation of trust, respect, and understanding. We recognize their intelligence, strength, and beauty, and in return, we treat them with kindness, care, and admiration. 

Dignity & Compassion

We are committed to upholding ethical practices and promoting the well-being of animals. Therefore, we firmly stand against supporting the kill-pen cycle and any individuals or organizations that engage in cruel and inhumane techniques.
