FOSTER A HORSE
We rely heavily on our foster homes and could always use more. If you would like to foster a horse, please email us for more information. NOTE: Actual expenses related directly to the care of your foster horse are tax deducible. Foster homes are required to submit a year end itemized statement with original receipts. Some of our “companion only” horses are eligible for foster care.
