Animals for Sponsorship
At The Horse Shepherd Equine Sanctuary, we have a number of our animals available for Sponsorship. The majority are horses or ponies reflecting our focus however from time to time other animals in need find the peace of our Sanctuary.
Your sponsorship donation helps with the cost of care for horses requiring long-term rehabilitation including ongoing vet care etc as more often than not, the horse will have arrived in poor condition.
For those horses that are unsound or aged, (but with quality of life) and therefore not suited for adoption, are allowed to live out their days here at the Sanctuary.
As a DGR* charity all donations over $2 are tax deductible.
We have two different sponsorship types…
Sponsorship Options
You can sponsor a horse long term or just make a contribution, click a below options to read more.
Option 1: Weekly Sponsorship
HSES Guardian
Our Guardian sponsors choose to be with us for the long term. Their regular donation helps cover the monthly costs involved with caring for our residents.
We like to think of these special folk as Guardian Angels. Their generosity allows us to keep so many safe from harm in this magical place.
Guardian Sponsors receive a personalised e-certificate as well as a six-monthly update. We also invite our Guardians to contact us to organise a visit to the Sanctuary at a mutually convenient time. Here, you can meet the horse or pony that has captured your heart.
Sponsorship costs vary from $15 – $25 per week depending on the animal and its needs.
