Your sponsorship funds the cost of one horse for one month - including grain, hay, supplements, farrier, and average vet costs! You can become a Horse & Buddy Hero by funding a partial sponsorship (recurring monthly donation in any amount). Your sponsorship will include a thank you note from your horse, photos of your horse in action in the program, social media recognition, and your name on their stall for the month of sponsorship!
