The greatest need for horse rescue organizations is public support. On the average, rescue organizations spend between $1,500 and $2,000 on every horse that enters their gates before it’s ready to adopt. The initial veterinary examination alone is over $100, special feed for the emaciated or sick horse averages $100 a month, farrier services $25 every 6 weeks, shavings $100 a month per horse. Annual vaccinations and coggins, an additional $100 per horse. Some horses may remain in a horse rescue for a year or two while going through physical and emotional rehabilitation. Your gift to a particular horse helps us prepare them for their final adoption.
