Standing here, it’s all so clearWe are where we’re meant to be…


Stirrup Hope is the annual fundraising gala for Quantum Leap Farm’s equine-assisted therapy programs. This year’s event was held on Saturday, March 8th under a glowing Florida sunset. We had over 400 guests in Quantum’s riding arena this year and were able to raise a net total of over $335,000 through sponsorships and donations!

Highlights of the evening included a photo experience with Jack and Rapunzel, a delicious Tangled dinner, and a beautiful program, including moving testimonials from Quantum Leap Farm participants. 

Our theme this year is Disney’s Tangled, a movie based on the story of Rapunzel. Her story teaches us that although it may seem scary, adventuring out of your comfort zone may lead to great new experiences for you. Rapunzel’s journey – so closely parallels that of many of our veterans, pediatric cancer patients, and children and adults with special needs. They too are navigating a difficult and sometimes isolating journey, trying to find that place where they belong. Quantum is that place, and our gentle horses and professional staff are here to help them do just that! At Quantum, our dedicated staff, volunteers, and especially our generous donors are those friends that help our therapy participants See the Light! 

We are so thankful for the support of our community!
