You get the pleasure of
owning a virtual horse
while it is going
through the process of
rehabilitation and
training. On the
average, we spend
between $1,500 and
$2,000 on every horse
that enters our gates
before it is ready to
adopt. Your gift to the
virtual horse program
helps us prepare a horse
for its final adoption,
which usually happens
six months to a year
after we first bring it
through our gates.
The Horses
We have horses in rehab, resident and program horses, and those that are available for adoption. Each horse requires a minimum standard of care, which includes
the following:
- Farrier (every
6-8 weeks) - $25
- Equine dentist
(every 6-12 months)
- $80
- Wormer (every 6-9
weeks) - Between
