Day of Giving

Our thanks to all those who joined us on Saturday, October 10, 2020 for a celebration of milestones for Hidden Acres Farm and Therapeutic Riding Center. They helped to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the farm and 10th year as a nonprofit serving the community. This was a rare opportunity to visit the farm and tour our beautiful and healing grounds, gardens and medicine wheel and experience the beauty of Hidden Acres and learn more about our history and vision.

International speaker on Peace, Indigenous and Mother Earth perspective, Tiokasin Ghosthorse of the Cheyenne River Lakota Nation was invited to share his wisdom and spirit. Special guided family-friendly activities helped to support our mission.

Thank you to Post University Men’s Hockey Team and Athletic Department for hosting a Cerebral Palsy Fundraiser to Benefit Hidden Acres Therapeutic Riding Center on February 8th! Our thanks to all who donated, volunteered and attended. Special thanks to Team Captain Lucas Smith for heading up the team effort that raised over $11,000!
