We're raising funds through a Go Fund Me Campaign to construct an indoor arena where we can carry out our equine-assisted activities and therapies throughout the year, under cover, in all weather conditions.
Horse Ability often provides partial sponsorship for participants in our lessons so that we can provide our services to as many people as possible. If you are interested in sponsoring a participant for a lesson or a full program, please contact us to make arrangements.
Our horses are the lifeblood of our programs! The average cost per year to provide food, veterinarian service, farrier service, housing, supplements, and daily care is approximately $3,000 for a Miniature Horse and $4,500 for a full-size horse. Maintaining our horses’ health is crucial to our success. By sponsoring a horse or contributing to sponsorship you are helping the participants who benefit from our equine-assisted learning programs.
