Volunteering at the Horse Project is a deeply fulfilling experience for me. It allows me to contribute to the well-being of these magnificent animals, each with their own story of resilience. Diego, my favorite horse, has a special place in my heart due to his gentle yet playful nature and the incredible bond we’ve formed. Donations are crucial to ensure that these rescued horses receive the care they need, from proper nutrition to medical attention, which is why I also give a monthly gift. Your support helps provide a safe haven for them, allowing them to heal and thrive. Every contribution makes a significant difference in their lives.
Support the Ongoing Efforts of Healing Horses and People
The Horse Project is constrained by resources and space. “$3,000 sponsors a Better With Horses participant. $7,500 is a year’s basic cost to rescue a horse,” explains Linda Kiefer, Project Leader. “For space we have even temporarily used someone’s backyard to keep a horse alive.”
Every donation goes directly to rescuing horses that, in turn, rescue people.
The overarching goal is a place to call home. “There is a suitable property with potential to be a community gem, preserving open space. To enter negotiations we need one million dollars,” says Kiefer. “We trust donors recognize the value of a safe, healing place for people, horses, and nature.”
