There is a new way to support the therapeutic riding program at Carousel Ranch.

When you join the Brass Ring Club, you choose the amount you want to pledge every month to the riders and programs at Carousel Ranch.

It's easy to join. Just fill out the Pledge Form, put it in the enclosed envelope, and mail it to us. That's all you need to do. Your credit card will be billed monthly, and your gift will make a difference every day.

The amount you choose is automatically credited to Carousel Ranch. You don't have to do anything - but you'll be doing so much.

You can be part of our success even if you don't have deep pockets. Every dollar helps our program of horses, healing, and hope. Every supporter ensures that we will be able to provide therapy for years to come.

And for every pledge of $20 a month or more, we'll send you a ""Carousel Ranch Brass Ring Club" pin, so everyone will know you're helping change the lives of challenged riders.
