SUPPORT OPEN GATE
Your generosity can open the gate and offer life-changing opportunities for our Open Gate participants.
You can support a young person to stay in the saddle and work towards a better future with a once-off financial donation, or through the Open Gate Sponsorship program facilitated at The Riding Patch in Strathalbyn, South Australia.
Individualised programs are tailored for each participant and can include activities both with and without horses.
Contributions are tax deductible with every sponsorship and donation dollar going directly to supporting the participants.
