You get the pleasure of
owning a virtual horse
while it is going
through the process of
rehabilitation and
training. On the
average, we spend
between $1,500 and
$2,000 on every horse
that enters our gates
before it is ready to
adopt. Your gift to the
virtual horse program
helps us prepare a horse
for its final adoption,
which usually happens
six months to a year
after we first bring it
through our gates and
helps us support the
horses throughout our
organization.
