These Cookies Help Horses - Sound Equine Options

Our Rescue Partner: Sound Equine Options

When you enjoy a Giddy Up Cookies bar, you're doing more than treating yourself to premium, handcrafted goodness. You're helping a horse find its way home.

We donate 5% of our profits to Sound Equine Options, a licensed equine rescue serving our community since 2009.

Why Sound Equine Options?

Sound Equine Options was founded by veterinary professionals to address a growing crisis: horses who've been abandoned, neglected, or abused have nowhere to turn. Unlike cats and dogs, horses don't have a publicly provided safety net.

SEO fills that gap—working directly with law enforcement and the Oregon Humane Society to rescue horses from dire situations across Northwest Oregon and Southwest Washington.

What Your Cookie Purchase Supports

Veterinary Triage When a horse enters their program, it receives immediate medical evaluation and care—often after months or years of neglect.

Foster Care & Rehabilitation Dedicated foster families help horses regain their physical health and emotional trust. Most horses need 3-4 months of quality nutrition, deworming, and patience before they're ready for the next step.

Training for a Forever Home Every horse receives natural horsemanship training—building the confidence and skills they need to become a trusted partner in their new home.

The average cost to fully rehabilitate one horse is $2,500. That's veterinary care, nutrition, training, and finding the perfect match for adoption.

Local Impact, Right Here in Oregon

Sound Equine Options cares for 40-70 horses at any given time and rehabilitates over 80 horses annually. They've rescued more than 500 animals during emergencies like the Eagle Creek wildfire.

Based in Gresham with foster homes throughout the region, they're our neighbors—and the horses they save become part of our community.

Why This Matters to Us

We're a horse family. Living here in Damascus, surrounded by the beautiful equestrian community of Clackamas County, we see firsthand how horses enrich our lives.

Every horse deserves a second chance. And every cookie you buy helps make that possible.
