The initial goal of Possum Snout Arena was to provide families with wholesome horse-related activities that offered a healthy sense of competition to develop friendships. Since that time, Rachel's Wish was born and we now provide the same opportunity to those affected with challenges - whether they are financial, physical, emotional, mental or drug related - whether adult or adolescence. The participants and volunteers with Rachel's Wish Foundation are firm believers that proactive involvement with youth is the key to preventing drug abuse, teenage pregnacy and high school drop outs. We also believe that people involved with animals have a better understanding of respect and relationships. We now provide services at no cost to : Tanner Behavioral Health Equine Riding Clinic The Learning Tree - whose facilities provide long term housing for individuals afflicted with brain disorders through injury or disease Adult and youth with handicaps - including wheelchair bound - riding therapy You tell us your need and if we have the ability to help, you will learn, wishes do come true - just as they did for Rachel. |

In order for Rachel's Wish Foundation to provide opportunities for all
with a wish to enjoy Equine events and riding experiences, a
covered arena is necessary. Many of our dreamers have physical
limitations and cannot spend time in the great outdoors. So that all
of those needs can be met, please consider making a donation to
our organization.
We also encourage donations of tack and veterinary services so all
of those requesting services will never be turned away
