Other Opportunities to Give

We have several unique programs which allow you to become a vital part of Horseplay! Please contact us to be a part of our program.

“Sponsor a Herd Member”- For a donation of $500 a year, you will receive monthly letters/photos of the horse of your choice. You will be welcome to visit our horses (planned visits) and give your horse a hug and a carrot or two. Your donation of $500 will provide one of our herd with necessary routine vet expenses and hoof care as well as help with feed and hay.

“Keep ‘em in Hay” – For a donation of $300 you will be allowing us to purchase roughly one ton of hay. This will feed the present herd for one month. Hay is vital to good horse health – a horse requires 2% of it's body weight in food per day just to maintain their weight. Also as they are grazing herbivores, most of that food should be in a fibrous forage, i.e. hay.

“Trim our Hooves” – for a donation of $250 you will be allowing us to trim the hooves of 10 horses. This is done on a regular basis, about every 6 weeks, as their hooves grow (like our fingernails) and need to be maintained to prevent lameness.

“Feed the Herd” – For a donation of $150, Horse Play will be able to purchase 10 bags of feed. This will feed the present herd for 10 days.

“Shelter the Herd” – For a donation of $75 you will be allowing us to purchase 10 replacement or new boards for wooden run-in sheds.
