The Equestrian Aid Foundation provides needs-based financial support to horse people who have experienced life-changing or life-threatening health crises and need assistance with paying for
We welcome applicants for aid from two groups:
Equine Professionals: These individuals directly make their living from horses and horse sports. Occupations include, but are not limited to riders, grooms, horse show staff, farriers, veterinarians, and braiders.
Anyone falling under this category can apply for a grant to compensate for loss of income due to a catastrophic injury, illness or occurrence.Non-Professionals, Amateurs and Juniors: We will accept applications from equestrians who make their living in another field but ride or own horses as a hobby. This includes amateur and junior riders, volunteers and other equine enthusiasts who do not rely on the horse business for their income.
We welcome applications from this category for acute, catastrophic injuries incurred solely on horseback or handling horses.!!!Important Note: Our financial grants will not cover retroactive financial loss, medical bills, business expenses/losses, or horse rescue expenses/losses!!!
