Support Tall in the Saddle
Tall in the Saddle (TIS), a 4-H program operated by volunteers, has filled an important need in Midland County for more than 40 years by providing therapeutic horseback riding to children and young adults with special needs.
It costs approximately $5,000 to operate TIS for one year… a cost of $250 per rider. Please consider donating to help support a rider. Your donation will make a difference in the lives of some very special kids, youth, and young adults.

Adopt-A Rider Scholarship Program
Take our word for it. There is nothing more fulfilling than seeing the smile of pride and personal accomplishment on a struggling child’s excited face.
Regardless of how long they’re with us, each Tall in the Saddle rider learns something about freedom, independence and communicating with the world around them every time they visit. Whether they want to or not!
Maybe they don’t come right out and tell you “Thanks” but it shows in the nervous strides, tentative touches, infectious laughter, warm hugs and broad smiles you’ll find being shared during each class.
Imagine if you, your church, or philanthropic community group could make that dream come true all year long by joining the Tall in the Saddle Adopt-A-Rider Scholarship Program. It’s very simple. And rewarding for everyone involved.
A donation of $40 will sponsor a rider for a week and $250 will provide a rider a scholarship for one eight-week session. With a gift of $500, you can influence the lives of two young riders. Each donation helps a rider increase their concentration, patience and discipline and master their self-control. They learn to focus and sit tall both on the horse and in their daily lives. The motion and action of the horse improves posture, strengthens and relaxes the muscles and stimulates the nervous and circulatory system.
The rewards are great.
When you or your organization adopts a TIS rider, you’ll both receive a warm thank you and open invitation to visit anytime. We hope you’ll join us to watch your rider grow stronger in his or her skills and confidence. The smiles are worth it. We promise!
