About EqAid

EqAid is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to strengthening the equestrian community through the collection and redistribution of riding apparel, equipment, and tack. Operating directly at USEF-rated hunter-jumper horse shows, EqAid provides convenient on-site donation opportunities that allow riders, trainers, and barns to give back at the point of participation.

Donated items are delivered to carefully selected partner organizations, including therapeutic riding programs, equine recovery facilities, and retirement centers. These programs rely on safe, functional equipment to care for horses and serve their communities, yet often face limited access to resources.

By embedding donation infrastructure into equestrian events, EqAid creates a sustainable, closed-loop system that keeps quality gear in the sport and out of landfills. Through volunteer leadership, intentional partnerships, and responsible reuse, EqAid transforms surplus into support and generosity into lasting impact beyond the show ring.
