Horse Donations & Sponsorships
Honoring the Herd
Sponsoring one of our horses is a great way to help serve those who serve our country and communities.
Our equine coaches are at the center of what we do. They work hard mentally, emotionally and sometimes physically, to show participants how to connect and collaborate — so they can do the same at home and in their communities.
These horses teach us all how to become more authentic, more patient and more skilled at handling difficult situations.
Since how they feel is what they do, their trust is transparent and their willingness to cooperate is based on whether or not they feel safe in our hands.
All they ask is that we are emotionally honest, fair and respectful.
The Equus Effect horses are all in their second careers — and we take great care with their feed, vaccinations and additional supplements to keep them limber and fit for work. Of course, they also need good hay, rain sheets and lots of shavings for their stalls. It truly does take a village!
We deeply appreciate any donation — large or small.
These horses help a lot of people get right with themselves and we believe they deserve the very best from us!
Thank you for your generosity!
Dutch
Dutch is a 15.2 hand (a hand is 4”) 25-year-old bright, curious and flashy Arabian Pinto cross. He won lots of blue ribbons in the Western Pleasure show ring and has been “the face of The Equus Effect” for the past 14 years.
He gets joint supplements and a special cocktail of herbs and vitamins for his coat and hooves.
Tango
Tango is a 16 hand, 20-year-old paint quarter horse who is extremely sensitive and compassionate. Until he was 10, he competed in dressage, stadium and cross country jumping.
Tango gets herbs and special supplements for healthy digestion.
Babe
Babe is a 15.3 hand, 24-year-old European Belgian who is sensitive, patient and like most mares, has strong opinions about things on occasion. Before joining us, she pulled a wagon with her partner Joe.
She gets the same supplements as Dutch, plus an extra dose of vitamins for her coat.
Lance
Lance is a 17 hand, 21 year-old bay Thoroughbred Clydesdale cross who is a big horse with a very big personality. He competed in stadium jumping and dressage until this year when he joined our herd.
Lance gets supplements for his digestion and his joints.
