Helping Equines Reconnect Our Spirits
Horse Adoption Program
Our herd consists of hard working equines that change lives one hoof beat at a time. They require a considerable amount of love and care to keep them in optimal working condition to best serve our participants. Our annual cost for horse care is about $38,000 – costs include:
- Hay
- Grain
- Supplements
- Shavings
- Tack and supplies
- Vet care & medications
- Farrier services
- Other general care items
This money helps to offset the cost associated with taking care of our herd of therapy partners, we hope to have 2 to 3 HEROS for each horse.
