Our Healing with Horses program is nothing without our incredible herd of horses who provide our clients friendship, self-confidence, laughter and freedom.
When you sponsor one of our horses, you help offset some of the costs of caring for them and enable us to put more funding into expanding our low-cost programs for kids and support those in our community who wouldn’t otherwise have access to this form of service.
All sponsorship levels receive a tax-deductible donation receipt and acknowledgement on our website. Sponsors are encouraged to visit their horse, and volunteers are always welcome.
The Healing with Horses Sponsorship program offers three levels for contributions with a three-month commitment. When you sponsor a horse, you will receive a certificate with a picture of your horse, as well as an acknowledgement to be included on our website.
Each horse costs approximately $300.00 per month for hay, grain, nutritional supplements, de-worming, bi-annual shots, hoof care, vet care and rent for facilities, but we offer three different levels of sponsorship for you to choose from.
We hope you will consider sponsoring one of our sweet horses. We are a young non-profit and not only will you be helping the kids who come here to heal, but also help provide much needed hay, feed and care for the horses who do most of the work. Thanks for everything you do!
Meet our amazing herd – they are the heart and soul of Healing with Horses.
Merlin is our ‘heart horse”. He came to us from a slaughterhouse in Alabama and we believe he is about 22 years old and was worked on a ranch most of his life. He travelled from Alabama for 4 days with Annabella to get to us. He is sweet, kind and very loving to the children in our Healing with Horses program.
He also struggles with anxiety, which can be a good trait for children in the program who themselves deal with anxiety. He is talkative and the first to let out a neigh when you walk up to the pasture in the morning.

Romeo is a Paint gelding who came to live with us with his best pal Baby Bear (who is a mini). Baby Bear is half his size, but he wouldn’t know it. Watching them together is adorable! They follow each other everywhere.
Big hearted and sweet, Romeo is exactly what his name says –a lover at heart and the perfect therapy horse. The kids love him.

Sunbeam is the latest addition to our herd. He is a Missouri Fox Trotter, an older fellow and sweet as pie. He used to live and work down in Virginia Beach at another therapeutic program for children and is very gentle and kind. He knows how to kick a ball and other tricks, which he’s teaching to the rest of the herd. He’s pretty shy and is just starting to make friends with the rest of the boys in the herd.

Napoleon or Nappy for short is everyone’s best friend! With a puppy dog personality, Nappy will follow you around wherever you go. He might even give you a “hee haw” if you decide not to spend your whole day cuddling him. As a mini donkey, Nappy is ‘fun sized’ and perfect for children who might feel intimidated by the larger horses.
Nappy spent his previous years babysitting young horses and decided it was time to do the same with our children. He may be the newest addition of our herd, but we couldn’t imagine the farm without him!
