Save a date!

On December 9th, from 7pm to 11pm, we are having a black-tie gala at the Smithsonian’s Hirshhorn Museum to celebrate our accomplishments in 2017 and look forward to a new chapter in 2018.

We will have private access to the museum’s collections, in addition to displaying paintings our children are making about what SPIRIT means to them, and paintings from veteran artists who have donated their works.  Following the event, the art from our kids and veterans will be available for auction.

Our Eventbrite page is at http://artandsaddles.eventbrite.com, and at http://www.artandsaddles2017.org.

Each rider needs riding pass at the Park!

SPIRIT Team is so grateful to Fairfax County Park Authority and all who supported our transition, for an opportunity to foster healing and learning with horses at Frying Pan Farm Park. 
Riders, students, families, please, make sure that your rider has yearly, quarterly, or daily riding pass.
Thank you!

To all friends, supporters, volunteers and staff at SPIRIT

It’s not a job.

It’s a calling.

This work we do in nonprofit – changing lives for the better – it’s important.

I don’t know about you, but I can’t imagine doing anything else.

Helping others is just part of who I am. I couldn’t stop doing it if I tried.

How about you?

I thought so. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be here reading this.

Big hugs for doing work that matters!
