Our Horses

"Horse and Buddy has given us the opportunity to grow our daughter's passion for riding, horses and farm life in a safe environment where there is no pressure on her or us. She can take her time to blossom and overcome her shyness and sensory issues without feeling different.

 Parent Survey 2021

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!
