Donating to The Horse Shelter

Private donations keep The Horse Shelter going. We rely on donations from individuals for 75% of our operating budget. The average cost of caring for just one horse (feed and routine vet care only), totals $2,500.00 per year. In addition, well over half of the horses at the Shelter require special diets and medications which add further to our costs. Farrier care is also required for each horse.
