Sponsor a Horse

Incredible friendships start here. When you sponsor a horse at Hoofbeats Sanctuary, you’ll be guaranteeing their future with us – ensuring they will never want for warmth, care, food or friends.

Horses are expensive critters to keep, and for the last financial year our horse care costs were just under $44,000. The wonderful horses that make up our herd are the backbone of our equine therapy and other mental health programs – and without them, or your support, these programs would just not be possible.

We aim to raise $5000 per horse in sponsorships. Every horse will have a single Principal Sponsor (a $4000 once-off payment) and multiple Monthly Sponsors of varying amounts.

In 2023, for every $10 we raised for the herd, we spent $5.82 on hay and other feeds, $1.69 on the farrier, $1.57 on vet bills, $0.68 on supplements and medication, and $0.24 on worming and first aid.

Sponsor a horse today and you’ll receive invitations to our quarterly Gratitude Days during which you can meet the herd, grab a selfie with your sponsored horse and enjoy a light vegetarian lunch picnic at the Sanctuary. You’ll also receive a range of benefits, according to the subscription level you choose, including:

To become a sponsor, simply choose a sponsorship level and then choose a horse. To help you choose, you can learn more about each horse on the Meet The Herd page.

Principal Sponsors can also choose to make an EFT deposit into our bank account (BSB: 633000, Account #: 137521696, Account Name: Kanyini Connections Ltd). Simply send us an email afterward so that we can send you a receipt!

P.S. If you chose Unicorn level, we will contact you to check your shirt size.

Tax Deductibility: For individuals, sponsorship payments are treated as donations and are tax deductible. For businesses, it can be a marketing expense or a donation depending on the level of sponsorship benefits you require.
