Sponsor a horse!
The Breaking Free Therapeutic Riding and Horses for Heroes program could not exist without an amazing herd of horses that continues to bring their riders and volunteers strength, freedom, confidence, dreams, friendship and much more.
Taking good care of our horses is a large part of our program budget. Some of the costs of caring for a horse include:
Farrier every 6-8 weeks $520 per year
Horses hoofs are constantly growing, just like our fingernails. Farriers keep their hoofs clipped to keep them healthy and pain free.
De-worming 4-5 times a year $75 for one horse for one year
Basic veterinary care each year $450 for one horse
Horses need physicals just like humans. Our horses get physicals 1 time a year. Sometimes a horse needs an emergency vet visit, dental work these visits cost extra.
Daily hay (price depending on season) $360 a year for one horse
Horses need constant forage to munch on. Grass is best, but when fall/winter comes grass needs supplemented with hay.
Grain for 1 horse $400 per year
Our horses LOVE to eat and get a a well balance grain.
Misc. horse expenses $300 a year per horse average
Such as chiropractor adjustments and medications & supplements.
Sponsorships help purchase feed, hay, nutritional and medicinal supplements, bedding, farrier services, veterinary and dentistry care, chiropractor and barn supplies such as feed tubs and water buckets, halters and lead ropes, fly spray, shampoo, liniment, wound-care materials, etc.
