Adopt-A-Horse
Sponsorship of our horses plays a key part in our ability to not only keep our most important equine friends “fat n’ happy,” but to also keep them healthy and sound. We could not do the work that we do without our four-legged friends and maintaining their health is key to keeping our program running smoothly. The cost of keeping one of our horses is roughly $5000.00 per year
Assuming no unforeseen emergencies, this covers their food (grain and hay), farrier services,
worming and annual vaccinations.
The Impact of Your Adopt-A-Horse Dollar:
- Approximate annual cost to feed one horse (including hay and grain): $1000
- Approximate yearly maintenance costs for one horse (including farrier services, routine vaccinations, and miscellaneous healthcare fees): $700
- Approximate yearly professional service costs associated with taking care of one horse (including barn staff): $3000
