Sponsor a Horse

Put simply, horses are large animals. Large animals = large costs. Sponsorships offer an opportunity to become involved with the community at Acres as well as helping with the costs of covering food, hay, veterinary care, farrier costs, and other monthly expenses related to horse care and other animal-related expenses.

 

Browse the horses below to sponsor, or donate to support our entire herd.

Every gift, no matter the shape or size, makes an impact on the lives of our animals who then help to transform the lives of our clients and further supports the sustainability that makes Acres all that it has become.

Sponsors are offered a unique opportunity to meet their sponsored horse and connect-given prior scheduling/confirmation (our horses have busy calendars!). Horse sponsorships can also be made in memory of or in honor of those we remember as well.

Gooch

I am in my late teens. I earned over a quarter million dollars in my previous career as a pacer. When I first came to Acres, I had a little bit of difficulty adjusting to a slower pace of life and all of the changes this brought. It was a challenge for me to switch into a new job and I’m learning day by day what this new life is like for me.
