Consider a sponsorship... a little bit can go a really long way!
For example:
Fudge's daily cost, just to keep him happy and healthy, is $19 each day.
Emmett's monthly cost is $400.
Midnight's weekly cost is about $125.
... each equine in our care gets a custom care plan and costs $7-15 per day just to provide feed, hay, supplements and medication (if needed). We usually have at least 12-15 horses, ponies, donkeys, etc. in our care! That's roughly $200 per day just to feed the horses! That doesn't include our operating expenses like electric, fuel, truck repair, insurance, and maintenance of the farm! Our monthly expenses can quickly climb to $9000! And that's for the routine stuff. That doesn't include expansion projects or emergencies like a busted pipe or a sick horse.
Let's not forget:
Hoof trims (every 4 weeks) $50 per horse for usually 12-15 horses!
Annual preventative vet care minimum per horse $600 (vaccinations, deworming, dental care, Coggins)
Not to mention:
Dreaded emergency visits starting at $500+!
We've averaged these expenses into different sponsorship levels for the equines in our care. You can sponsor a horse for just one month or continue each month until he/she is no longer in our care. You can also sponsor a farm friend like one of our sheep or goats!
Full Horse Sponsor: $300 covers hay, vitamins, a farrier visit and a de-wormer.
3/4 Horse Sponsor: $225 covers senior hay pellets.
1/2 Horse Sponsor: $150 covers hay and ration balancer.
1/4 Horse Sponsor: $75 covers basic feed only.
Farm Friend Sponsor: $50 covers monthly feed for a farm friend.
You're encouraged to come visit "your" sponsored horse as often as you like. Just make an appointment with us!
