Building a Community through Horse Rescue and Sanctuary

We firmly believe that by educating individuals about the plight of horses, we can prevent unnecessary suffering, and with the support of our community, we can make a lasting impact. Learn more about our mission and the horses we've helped by visiting our About page.

  We simply can't continue our work without the generosity of sponsors like you. The costs of hay, feed, medical care, dental services, and farrier expenses increase quickly. Sponsoring a horse is a crucial way to ensure we can keep providing the care our horses desperately need. Costs vary from $10 - $15 per day to feed a horse, and We maintain an average of 30 to 40 Rescue & Sanctuary Horses. 

 

What Does It Mean to Sponsor a Horse?

Sponsorship is essential to continue caring for our horses and keeping them safe. Sponsors make a monthly contribution toward the care of a specific horse, with all donations going directly to that animal's expenses. Our goal is to secure a sponsor for each horse at HVH Rescue, and your sponsorship makes a significant impact on their care and feeding costs.

Sponsorship is also a fantastic way for those who can't volunteer to get involved and make a difference.

Why Sponsor a Horse?

Sponsoring a horse is a heartfelt way to contribute to our mission of rescuing and rehabilitating horses. It provides a significant way for those who are unable to volunteer or are too far away to join our efforts. Your sponsorship helps free up funds, allowing us to rescue and rehabilitate even more horses in need.

  • Feel Good About Giving: Your sponsorship is a meaningful way to contribute to our mission.

  • Flexible and Tax-Deductible: Sponsorship is a month-to-month donation, so you can adjust or cancel at any time. Plus, your sponsorship is tax-deductible.

  • Make a Direct Impact: Your donations directly support the care of your sponsored horse.

How Much Does Sponsorship Cost?

Sponsorship can be as much or as little as you’d like to contribute each month. The recurring payment amount is up to you. On average, it costs about $10 to $15 per day or $300 to $450 per month to cover a horse's food and basic care. Dental and medical care are additional expenses.

Our goal is to achieve sponsorships totaling $450 per month for each horse in our care. Once a horse is fully sponsored, we stop accepting additional sponsorships for that horse to ensure all our horses have support.

No Long-Term Commitment

You can cancel your sponsorship at any time.  Please contact us through our Contact Us page.
