Tack Donation
Three Gaits accepts used tack as a donation. If you would like a letter to confirm your donation for tax purposes, please list the tack you donate with the address you would like a letter sent to. 

All items donated need to be serviceable. When tack is left moldy or extremely dirty for long periods of time, it affects the quality and safety of the equipment. NO magazines, ribbons or trophies please.  If Three Gaits cannot use the tack you donate, we will sell it and use the money towards items needed in our program.

For more information about used tack at Three Gaits, contact Sandra Faust at 608-877-9086.

Horse Donation or Lease
It would be impossible for Three Gaits to provide any equine activities without the generosity of the many people who have shared their horses. As valued members of the team, Three Gaits' horses' happiness and well being is our priority. We have guidelines that we follow in evaluating prospective horses for our riding program that lead us to select horses that are ideally suited to their job at Three Gaits.
