Mission and Program Overview

Mission

to provide equine therapy to at-risk children and teenagers on native american indian reservations

Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
Sage to Saddle provides an indoor horse riding arena and after-school program for children aged 8-18, focusing on equine relationships, horse care responsibilities, and the celebration and preservation of Native American heritage and culture. Through arena activities, homework assistance, and interactive classes guided by staff and volunteers well-versed in Lakota language and traditions, participants develop responsibility, focus, and a sense of pride while connecting with their rich heritage. The winter program runs for three months, supported by the arena and its 6 wranglers who assist in accommodating 15 students per session with two sessions daily during school weekdays. Over 75 students alternate days to ride with the program, with transportation and refreshments provided during the two-hour sessions. Approximately 60 children from reservations utilize the winter program as a respite from overcrowded living situations. Following the conclusion of the winter program, Sage to Saddle organizes three major group rides throughout the summer. These week-long events host up to 75 children per week who camp and ride over 120 miles per event. These extended rides offer participants a valuable opportunity to escape addiction issues prevalent on reservations while enjoying time with peers.-$118,378

IRS990ScheduleL/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0(1) Nathan Bressler, a director and President of the Organization, received compensation as an employee of the organization during the tax year. Nathan managed almost all aspects of the organization's operations, including marketing, producing media content, fundraising events, website management, donor relations, financial administration, photography/videography, event organization and execution, grant writing, managing staff schedules and operations, horse care, and providing round-the-clock support to students. (2) Ella Brewer, the spouse of Stanley Brewer Jr. who is a director and Treasurer of the organization, also received compensation as an employee of the organization during the tax year. Ella, an accredited teacher, was responsible for monitoring students in the program, providing transportation pick-up/drop-off for students, attending school meetings, assisting with grant writing, and facilitating school outreach. The organization strives to comply with the criteria under Treas. Reg. 53.4958-6 and its conflict of interest policy to establish reasonable compensation. In this case, the Board considered the qualifications of Nathan and Ella, reviewed comparable compensation data, and determined that their compensation reflected fair market value for their roles and services rendered.
