Your support can make a difference. A $1,000 donation will fund a scholarship to certify therapeutic riding instructors through APHF, and the donor will receive a beautiful and inspirational limited-edition bronze sculpture by Cowboy Bronze for their contribution.

Part of a f ive-bronze series, the f irst two bronzes are “Unexpected Help” and “Where There’s a Will … There’s a Way.” Each bronze is limited to 25 editions. For more information on how to contribute to APHF, go online to aphfoundation.org .
