OUR COSTS:

~We receive no state or federal funding.

~We rely on 100% of your generous donations to care for our 65(+/-) horses.

~There are many expenditures, but the most costly is feed and hay. â€‹

  • Some of our horses require medicine and basic first aid on a daily basis.

  • A vet visit costs approximately $150/horse. They are all seen each year.

  • A dental visit costs between $80-$300 per horse.

  • A farrier comes out every 5-6 weeks for hoof trimming at $45-$90 per horse.

  • Bedding and feed will cost $500 per horse, per year.

  • De-wormer is $7 - $10/tube for each horse done 4 times a year per horse ($1,876 - $2,680 a year for all horses).

  • An emergency vet visit (to Paducah, KY) can cost between $250 - $6,000 (or more).

  • Hay costs $9/square bale (plus delivery costs). Our horses eat 4-5 bales every week (or 208-260 bales a year per horse, which is $1,872-$2,340 per horse a year.)

  • Grain costs $20/horse per day.

  • Horses also need tack gear (halters, lead ropes, blankets, blanket pads, fly masks, fly spray, etc.)
