What is a Safe Haven horse?
These are our long-haulers. The ones that have asked to go no further and no longer change hands. The ones that hurt. Or need to heal. These are the herd members that stay with us. We are their safe place to land.
We have at least 10 horses in our Safe Haven herd. The reasons are many and the needs can be high. We promise to keep them forever or as long as they want to be with us. With your help we can ensure this space and care for them and still be able to bring in rescues to be adopted out. We need to be able to do both.
You can sponsor any member of our Safe Haven herd. This funding goes directly to their lifetime care with 3 Sisters Equine Refuge.
Why Support Our Safe Haven Horses?
The base cost for a horse in our Safe Haven herd is approximately $325-350 a month.
These horses often need medications, specialty foot care, particular feed protocols and continued vet care. The rehab or stabilization of these special horses can drive the monthly cost up, not to mention rising feed costs.
Our Safe Haven herd numbers range from about 8-11 horses, making our continued fundraising efforts for this very deserving population to over $30K! This is a big goal, but important one. This money not only benefits these forever-safe horses, but securing funds also allows us to take in and plan for more adoptable rescues.
