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.

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.

Our Horses
Annie
I am in my early twenties and was born on a premarin farm in Canada. I enjoy my days with my smaller friends in the pasture and appreciate the scratches by taller friends on my back! I have been described as having a strong presence.
Beau
I am around eighteen years old and joined the Acres herd following the passing of my beloved Karly. I am incredibly intelligent and love to play. Although I have been known to have a spunky personality, I have a loving kindness and huge heart
Bella
I am a survivor of a traumatic past where I developed a fear response that almost cost me my life. I was rescued by someone who spent countless hours showing me what safety feels like. I have since joined Acres and continue to be a calm presence with safe boundaries.
Belle
Belle came to us looking for a new job as she was not a huge fan of riding! She also had some additional healthcare needs coming up for her. She is a 22 year old bay mare. She has been diagnosed with Cushings/EMS. She is docile, sweet, calm, and Loves attention.
Blizzard
I suffered a facial fracture earlier this year, however I have been recovering well! I love to hop into the horse trailer and look forward to my breakfast, lunch, and dinner each day and usually try to convince Heather to give me elevensies. I am easy-going and like to go with the flow.
Candy
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.
Joey
Lady K
I am about seven years old and I was on track to be a race horse until I sustained an injury that ended my potential career. With a kind heart and love to give, I found my way to Acres and bring energy and spunk to the pasture.
Lily
I am about fifteen years old. I have been described as “the picture of hope” in that something so wonderful could come from a situation so horrible. I love to “talk” with soft nickers and absolutely LOVE de-wormer.
Maybelle
I just arrived at Acres and am still getting to know my new teammates and my new home. Thank you for being patient with getting to know me as I take my time adjusting to this change. My team members said they would be willing to share more information when I’m ready; for now I have shared that I LOVE apples, I do not appreciate flies by my face, and I have two beautiful blue eyes.
Munchie
I am in my early twenties and have moved around a lot in my life. I would often become scared of losing the connection to those I would grow attached to, assuming that I would be leaving soon. I now live in a stable and consistent herd and munch happily during my days.
Ole
I am a Norwegian Fjord Horse and am approximately 24 years old. I have helped many individuals with building their strength, confidence, and self-esteem. I have learned what the sound of the gator means and love to interact with others and ESPECIALLY love my pasture buddies.
Ozzie
I am 29 years old and I have lived on the Acres property for many years. I have had many babies that went on to the world of reining and earned quite a bit! I like to spend my days grazing and receiving neck scratches.
