Special Needs Horses

Our Special Needs Horses page is designed to show and explain just how much it takes to rehabilitate and maintain a special needs horse. We hope it will show our sponsors, or people interested in sponsoring, exactly what and where their donations go towards. It may also give anyone interested in rehabilitating a horse an idea of what it really takes to do so. Many of these horses require special diets, corrective shoeing and regular vet visits.
