About Winnie's Heart of Gold

How a family's love of horses became a promise to share that joy with every child we can.

Our Story

It started with two girls and a love of horses.

Our daughters fell in love with horses from the very first time they went to summer horse camp. Horseback riding and arts & crafts were fun — but they were absolutely enamored by the beautiful horses.

They learned so much about horsemanship and began a life-changing relationship with these majestic animals. We saw firsthand how a week at the barn could shape a child's confidence, patience, and heart.

Our Mission

Paying Winnie's heart of gold forward.

What better way to honor the memory of Winnie — and pay forward her heart of gold — than to provide children the opportunity to experience horse camp?

Winnie's Heart of Gold exists to give kids the chance to learn to ride, build confidence, and fall in love with horses, regardless of their family's circumstances. Every sponsorship and every gift goes toward sending another child to camp.
