If you don't have a place for a horse but would like to help, sponsor one of our horses in the Green Bananas Herd, in the Golden Oldies Band, or select a horse waiting for a home.

We have learned what works best for the horses, and we have learned to keep it simple.  If you would like to sponsor a horse or to contribute to a long-term resident’s care, here is an idea of what costs we have:

Hay = $50.00/month, October -April

Feed = $1.50/day -- usually 50% Purina Strategy and 50% alfalfa pellets

Dewormer = $8.00

Farrier = $15.00 for a trim

Currently, these horses need costs covered for the winter:

Daisy, 8 year old QH mare. Ready for adoption; green broke, has been ridden on trails, loads, ties.  Daisy came to DCFHR in 2008 because she was pregnant.  We did not list her for adoption until the foal (Shamrock) was weaned.

Fancy, gaited mare, is being fine-tuned to become a good beginner’s/child’s trail horse, mother to “Stormy”,  has been here since July 2008

Phantom, TWH gelding, is looking for a home as a pasture companion; has been here since October 2008; well-trained but has back issues because he was ridden hard in field trials when he was only two years old

Stormy, filly born to Daisy in March 2009

Rio, arrived at DCFHR October 2, 2009; this horse requires critical care, especially farrier work; he was almost dead when he was rescued in July 2009; we are not out of the woods yet with Rio.

Tex, a 14 year old Quarter Horse gelding.  Tex will be up for adoption very soon.  He is a beautiful, sweet, well-trained gentleman. With a little more weight, he will be ready for his forever home. 

We will need extra help through sponsorships to get these horses through the winter.  We are currently looking for homes for three of these -- Fancy, Phantom, and Daisy.  Once they’re adopted out, others needing the care DCFHR provides will arrive to take their places.
