HorsePlay Inc. Receives $5,000 Boost from Nashville Predators for New Saddles

Tullahoma, TN – HorsePlay Inc., a vital non-profit serving children with special needs in Coffee and surrounding Tennessee counties, is celebrating a generous $5,000 donation from the Nashville Predators. This significant contribution will directly fund new saddles, enhancing the organization's ability to provide life-changing equine-assisted programs to its participants.

Since its founding in 1997, HorsePlay Inc. has been dedicated to offering Therapeutic Riding, Horsemanship, and Hippotherapy options at no cost to the children and their families.

The core mission of HorsePlay Inc. is to empower its students by helping them build muscle strength, develop fine motor skills, and grow in independence and self-confidence. Beyond the physical benefits, these programs are instrumental in fostering crucial emotional and social skills as children develop meaningful relationships with both horses and people.

"We rely entirely on the generosity of our community to continue these programs at no cost to our participants," shared a spokesperson for HorsePlay Inc. "This incredible donation from the Nashville Predators is a huge boost and will directly impact our ability to provide the best possible experience for our students with brand new saddles."
