Information
The Spotlite Foundation has rescued numerous horses and ponies over the years, and has operated free/low cost riding programs, but has only recently achieved official non-profit status. This is an exciting time for The Spotlite Foundation, as we hope to be able to touch many more lives of horses and youth with our newly established 501(c)3.
