Mission

Special Equestrians provides therapeutic riding programs to individuals with physical, mental, and emotional disabilities.

  • Special Equestrians equine-assisted therapies and learning programs use the powerful healing properties of therapeutic riding and unmounted groundwork to help individuals with physical, cognitive, and emotional disabilities develop new skills and reach higher levels of functioning. SE is a Premier Accredited PATH (Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship) International Center; our facility, staff, and programming meet all relevant PATH Intl. Certification standards. We are committed to serving anyone who can benefit from our services, regardless of their ability to pay. If families cannot afford to pay our low fees, they can apply for additional financial assistance. We provide scholarships for roughly 30 percent of our riders.We work successfully with riders who meet criteria for more than 60 different disabling diagnoses, including cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, brain injuries, and Autism Spectrum Disorders. In addition, we have group programs for children and youth at risk for school failure; children and young adults enrolled in Autism intensive support classrooms and day programs; women and girls recovering from domestic trauma and personal health challenges; seniors with age-related disabilities; children grieving the loss of a family member, and those affected by a relative living with cancer. Representing diverse ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds, 80 percent of our riders were 18 or younger.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

The four totals the IRS asks for on Part I of the Form 990, as filed. A dash means the figure was not present on the return — not that it was zero.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
