Our Horses




 

Unfortunately the upkeep of our wonderful horses is not cheap.
The average cost of keeping one horse per year is $2150.
This includes farrier costs, feed and hay, tack, vet bills and miscellaneous.

 

At present we have 7 horses, which cost us a total of over $15,000 per year, which we must
raise entirely through donations.
