Fundraising Goal: $6K
We’re raising $6,000 to support our first residency with Detroit Horse Power

Detroit's new urban equestrian center will welcome its first horses in early 2027. As these horses settle into a new home, new routines, and an important role serving Detroit's youth, The Sanctuary School wants to be there to support them through that transition.
For two weeks, we'll be immersed in the daily life of the herd: observing how each horse is adapting, providing individualized bodywork and horse-centered handling, helping establish foundational routines, and collecting baseline wellness information to support their care over time.
Our goal is to raise $6,000 to launch and strengthen the Residency Program. Your support will help make this first residency possible while investing in the travel, equipment, training, and other resources we'll use to continue showing up for these lesson horses in the years ahead.
Help us welcome the herd and build what comes next.
Looking Ahead: Trailer Needed
We are in search of a safe 2-horse straight-load horse trailer with living quarters, fixer-upper welcome!
This set-up, once finished, will allow us to:
-
Live on-site during extended care visits
-
Bring horses to/from our residency stays
-
Work with program horses on trailer loading and hauling
