Hoedown for Hope Fundraiser

Our annual Hoedown for Hope is our biggest fundraiser of the year, helping fund participant scholarships, the care and feeding of our horses, and the upkeep of our dedicated 25-acre property. This lively event draws 400-500 guests each year for an unforgettable evening of live music, a catered dinner, drinks, live and silent auctions, plus fun activities for kids!

Equine-Assisted Therapy, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to providing therapeutic horseback riding and non-riding activities for individuals with challenges within the St. Louis area.

We turn no one away for financial reasons and never charge veterans, first responders, or children in foster care. Your support at Hoedown for Hope keeps our mission going strong, ensuring we provide therapeutic horsemanship to all in need.

Mark Your Calendar!

Join us for the next Hoedown on September 27th, 2025 at 5 pm at our Wildwood location. Come eat, drink, dance, and help us make a difference!
