Give a kid a leg up on life;
donate your gently used cowboy boots.

We need your help to give kids a leg up on life by donating new or gently used cowboy boots for young riders.

Our Foundation, which is dedicated to improving lives through interaction with horses, recently joined forces with Camp Carter YMCA in Fort Worth, Texas, to educate children about horses and get them in the saddle.

Safe footwear is an important part of the process, and the boot drive will help accomplish the goal of introducing children to the world of horses.

YMCA Camp Carter saddles up several thousand children each year for horse riding lessons, equine education and trail riders. And, their need for boots is great. For more than 50 years, the camp has been a popular retreat for children of all ages.

Both children's and adult size cowboy boots, with heels, are needed. Inquiries and boots should be directed to:
