About St. Croix Trail Blazers

St. Croix Trail Blazers is a volunteer-run nonprofit based in Stillwater, Minnesota that offers adaptive equine programs for people with physical, cognitive, emotional, or behavioral disabilities. The organization operates lessons, therapeutic riding and competitive opportunities (including a Special Olympics equestrian delegation) from its facility known as Jasmine Meadows.

The organization was formed in 2010 and is recognized as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charity (EIN 45-3865984; tax-exempt since December 2012). In recent years it has maintained active community fundraising (ride-a-thons, golf open, charity nights) and publishes regular newsletters describing program activity, volunteer instructors, and donor-funded improvements.

Financial filings show consistent program-focused operations through FY2022–FY2024, with program services representing the majority of revenue during those years and the organization continuing to run seasonal lessons, Special Olympics competition participation, and community fundraising events.
