Many of our volunteers, as well as our followers, grew up reading horse magazines (and still do today!). We spent countless hours reading and learning, and trying out new tips and tricks on our wonderfully patient mounts. Fast forward to today, Drifter's Hearts of Hope has found its way into one of those magazines!
A huge thank you to Horse Illustrated for featuring our amazing Annie Project horses, partners, and adopters. We are so appreciative for the exposure and look forward to seeing the growth of the Annie Project in the coming years. If you're new to the Annie Project - read up on it here (pages 30-35), as well as on our website!

The wonderful 5th grade class from Northeast Elementary in Parker completed a Shark Tank project where they learned the ins and outs of how a business is run - from creating a product to selling it. They even went the extra mile and picked a nonprofit to donate to - DHOH! We are so grateful for your donation and impressed with your entrepreneurial skills!

​Meet the Team:

"Dear Drifter's Hearts of Hope,

My name is Gabby Goodwater. You may remember me from volunteering. I attend Northeast Elementary in Parker, Colorado. I am in 5th grade and we completed a project called Shark Tank. It is where you pick a nonprofit to donate to then you make a product and sell it and whatever money you make you give it to the non-profit.

The product that my group made was chakra bracelets and pura vida bracelets. We decided to make these products because big businesses make the same product, but super expensive, so that people want to buy them can't buy the. Our products were sold for $2, $3, $4 and we raised $274.20.

We chose Drifter's Hearts of Hope as our non-profit because I know a lot about Drifter's and it seemed like they should be more supported and known more, so decided to do Drifters "ps I begged my group".

After convincing my group to donate to Drifters, we would like the money to benefit the horses needs, like food, or to fix the barn when something goes wrong. Or if one of the horses had to have surgery, but I don't think it will be enough to pay for that.

Hopefully this is enough. Have a great year and a great Christmas and Thanksgiving.

Sincerely,

Gabby G

PS....If Puzzle and Jigsaw are still there make sure to say hi for me. If not, then say hi to Cheyenne. Oh and if a volunteer named Ingrid is there make sure to say hi for me - she's my aunt."

"Dear Drifter's Hearts of Hope,

My name is Jake and I attend Northeast Elementary in Parker, CO. I am in 5th grade and we completed a project called Shark Tank. It is where we make things and sell them for money and with that money we donate it to a non-profit organization.

The product that my group made was bracelets. We decided to make bracelets because they are very professional and we knew people would buy them.  Our products sold for $2, $3, and $4. We raised $274.

We chose Drifter's Hearts of Hope as our non-profit to donate our money because they save horses and take good care of them.  After researching this non-profit we would like the money to go for food for horses.

Sincerely,
