The EAF History:
In 1996, six time Olympic Dressage rider, Robert Dover, together with R. Scot Evans, Gene Mische, Mason Phelps, Jr., Robert Ross and Kim Tudor established the 501(c)3 Equestrian AIDS Foundation (EAF). Their first board directive stated that EAF would provide direct support to equestrians living with HIV/AIDS. And provide they did, helping equestrians in need for the past 10 years.
Although we have grown and expanded, the Equestrian Aid Foundation, as the organization became known as in 1996, has always prided itself on how we deliver service. Financial support from EAF is provided directly to the petitioning equestrian or their representative. Funds donated to EAF are used to provide various essentials that may include medical needs, health insurance, food and housing, transportation, physical therapy and more.
Equestrian Aid Foundation’s Mission is to build a membership based organization to assist anyone in the equestrian world suffering from life threatening illness, catastrophic accidents or injuries by providing direct financial support for their medical or other basic needs.
While there are costs related to running any organization, EAF strives to minimize operating expenses through in-kind donations of office space, graphic design and other administrative costs whenever possible.
If you’ve shared the thrill of watching stadium jumping, awed at the athleticism of man and horse as they do intricate cutter routines, cheered as your favorite dressage rider makes her horse dance around the ring or just enjoyed watching equestrians on TV not knowing much about their sport but able to appreciate the sheer beauty of it all, please donate to the Equestrian Aid Foundation family. Take pride in knowing that your generosity today will ensure a brighter tomorrow for an equestrian in need.
