Welcome to Sponsor A Horse
"Welcome to Sponsor A
Horse where caring people like you make it possible for us to continue rescuing
and rehabilitating neglected, abused, and abandoned horses. If we work together
as a team we can save more horses than if we were all working individually."
We're so glad you
found our site and hope you take this opportunity to help us help our equine
friends in need. We appreciate everyone's support and hope you can join us to
allow Sponsor A Horse.org to continue to save more horses. We hope you join and
witness some remarkable recoveries made possible by members like you.
Have you ever
wanted a horse, but things just never seemed to work in your favor? How would
you like to help a horse in need? At Sponsor A Horse.org we rescue and
rehabilitate horses that are unwanted, neglected, or abused. Over time we have
accumulated older unadoptable horses that will stay here and live the remainder
of their lives happily. Would you like to help support these horses and horses
at other rescues nationwide? Join Sponsor A Horse.org and you will help us
continue rescuing more horses and also to help us educate people on the serious
equine issues that are taking place all over the United States. There are too
many people breeding unnecessarily. Why breed when there are tens of thousands
of horses in the United States that need homes already? It would be great to
educate people and explain that breeding isn't for everyone. Because of the excessive
amounts of breeding 93% of the 100,000 horses being slaughtered every
year are perfectly healthy, but the truth is the United States is over
populated with Equine animals.
How do theses
horses become unwanted? There can be a variety of answers, but the most common
we encounter are their child went off to college, they do not have the means to
support them any longer, they are too much work, or they are just getting too
old. The harsh reality is that sometimes these people just want to get rid of
the animal and do not try to contact the proper authorities for help. So many
times horses go to a killer sale because the owners were not educated on the
alternatives for unwanted horses in their area.
Because we want to
help as many animals as we can and we have accumulated the older unwanted horse
over the years, it has become impossible for us financially to continue to take
these horses that are unwanted. It breaks our heart to turn away a horse, but
there may soon be times financially that if we do not say no that we could be
put in the position of not being able to help any horses, including the horses
we already own. It is our commitment to protect and take care of the horses we
have already taken on and when we can, take on more needy horses. This is why we
are asking for help from you and your friends. Please help us continue this
fight against abused and neglected horses.
By becoming a
member you will allow us to continue doing what we do best. In return, your
membership will also give you access to our members only area of our website. In
the members only area you will have access to articles that share the horses we
have rescued experiences. We will be sharing updates on horses, and you will
also be welcomed in our community where you may share your experiences with like
minded positive people. So if you love horses and want to make a difference then
welcome to Sponsor A Horse.org.
We also understand
not everyone can help financially or become a member and donate money, but there
are other opportunities to help. Maybe you know of an organization or company
that would like to sponsor some horses. There are other options to help.
Sharing your
experiences with us is a great way to contribute to our cause. Also, telling
others about our cause and helping spread the word of what Sponsor A Horse.org
is all about is greatly appreciated. If you are in a position and need some help
or advice please contact us and we will try to be of assistance. By working
together we can help more horses than if we did it alone. That's one reason we
have decided to reach out to you and ask for assistance.
We have maintained
operation with our own money for over 10 years, but now the cost of feed, hay,
and bedding have skyrocketed making it impossible for us to do it alone. Also
because the economy has declined more horses are in need, more owners are
financially unable to support their animals. We need your help to continue our
mission of saving horses and educating current and future horse owners.
For those of you
who have already shared your stories, we are thankful. Our goal for this website
is help each other in ways we never thought imaginable. We are very proud of our
members, you are indeed a "special group" of people. Our dream for Sponsor A
Horse.org is to create a large community that not only helps our cause here, but
also helps other rescuing facilities throughout the United States. Building a
national community, where we can help each other learn and benefit from
individual experiences. This would help eliminate the need for every new rescue
facility to "reinvent the wheel." By working together we will create a stronger
more efficient network of rescuers to benefit more horses and people.
The
more horses we rescue the more we wonder, who is the real benefactor, the horse
we rescue or the people's lives the rescued horses touch.
Thank you for your
support! Allen, Nancy, and Corri
