#Givingandgalloping
EqAid is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that strengthens the equestrian community by collecting new and gently used riding apparel, equipment, and tack directly at USEF-rated horse shows and redistributing these resources to therapeutic riding programs, equine recovery facilities, and retirement centers.
By embedding donation infrastructure into competitions, EqAid makes giving back simple, immediate, and impactful—keeping quality gear in the sport and out of landfills. Each donation supports the long-term well-being of horses while expanding access to essential equipment for the programs that care for them.
Through intentional partnerships, volunteer leadership, and sustainable reuse, EqAid creates a closed-loop system that turns surplus into support and generosity into lasting impact.
Our Organization
Take Action
EqAid makes it easy to give back to the equestrian community in meaningful ways. Support our mission by donating new or gently used equestrian gear at participating horse shows, or by joining our volunteer team and helping operate on-site collections.
Every contribution—whether time or equipment—directly supports therapeutic riding programs, equine recovery facilities, and retirement centers that rely on quality resources to serve horses and riders. Together, we can turn surplus into support and ensure lasting impact beyond the show ring.
