Horsethief is donating a percentage of monthly sales to organizations that uplift Black and Indigenous communities. I will also be continuing to donate my time and work to causes, auctions, and raffles that benefit justice, anti-racism, and the creation of a more peaceful world. I donate to these communities because I support their healing, their ability grow stronger, and to help create a tangible difference in their lives.
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Below you can find the organizations that Horsethief supports. If you are a non-profit organization benefiting BIPOC and are in search of an auction or raffle donation please feel free to contact me.
Horsethief contributes the following organizations:
Compton Cowboys / COMPTON JR. EQUESTRIAN
A collective of lifelong friends on a mission to uplift their community through horseback and farming lifestyle, all the while highlighting the rich legacy of African-Americans in equine and western heritage.
Compton Jr. Equestrians was developed to serve inner city youth in the hub city of Compton, along with local areas. CJE was formed in response to the lack of programs available to youth in the community who are at risk for dropping out of school, incarceration, and poverty.
The program not only teaches the highly esteemed skill of horseback riding, but academic achievement and character building. Some of the academic areas built upon are science, math, literacy, and cultural history. Compton Jr. Equestrian’s program builds discipline, self-esteem, and leadership.

the humble project
Horses change lives and inspire futures. Humble, a project with the mission of exposing underprivileged and marginalized communities to the horse world, fosters respect, confidence, and accountability for urban youth through equine experiential learning. Our vision is to change the face of equine culture and inspire positive futures through horses.
Bri Noble is the founder and owner of Mulatto Meadows, an equestrian business dedicated to expanding the accessibility of riding and horsemanship to communities historically excluded from the equestrian world. Bri is especially passionate about introducing horsemanship and riding to youth of color and economically disenfranchised populations.

navajo water project
Navajo are 67 times more likely than other Americans to live without running water or a toilet. 1 in 3 Navajo still don’t have a sink or a toilet. That's an injustice.
The Navajo Water Project is a community-managed utility alternative that brings hot and cold running water to homes without access to water or sewer lines across New Mexico, Utah, and Arizona. It's the first system of its kind in the United States.
