Sponsorship Opportunities
Sponsoring a rescue horse at Horses For Heroes provides a unique and fulfilling way to support equine welfare and the therapeutic services offered to veterans. Sponsors receive monthly updates and photos of their sponsored horse, allowing them to follow their horse’s journey and progress. Additionally, sponsors receive a special keychain made from their horse’s hair, along with a heartfelt letter "from their horse" that adds a personal touch to the experience. Sponsors are kept informed about their horse’s care and well-being through regular updates. Those who opt for a full monthly sponsorship have the added benefit of visiting their sponsored horse, creating a deeper bond and firsthand connection. Partial sponsorships also offer a meaningful experience with photos, updates, and a letter, ensuring that every contribution is recognized and valued.
