Here are the wonderful horses that Spirit Horse either owns or leases for their programs. Some horses are available for Lease or for Sponsor.
-
Leases include a monthly fee for being able to ride the horse during the week and get priority during lessons for their use. Please inquire into which horses are available and which ones are looking for a person.
-
Sponsorship is when you decide to cover some of the needs of the horse and get updates on their wellbeing. Sponsorship can cover medicine for a horse, management needs, or basic care costs. By deciding to Sponsor a horse, you get to help improve the lives of these beautiful creatures. Please contact us if you are interested in sponsoring.
