And Bring Your Dream to Life
Do you wish you could have a relationship with a horse but don’t have anywhere to keep one or the time to do so? Did you have a horse that you lost and still grieve? Did you fall in love, the way we have, and want to fund the care and well-being of one of our horses for their lifetime?
“I was one of those horse crazy girls who dreamt about a soulful relationship with a horse. Those soul-satisfying dreams followed me into my adulthood. My tax-deductible horse sponsorship has been a gift to me and my chosen horse as we navigate meaningful older chapters of our lives.”
Most of our horses come to us because no one could or would care for them, and because they could not or no longer wanted to be ridden. That made them at highest risk of being needlessly euthanized or cruelly slaughtered. Many people dump their elder horses because they don’t want to face end-of-life. And some of our younger horses were born to pregnant mares that were discarded.
Flag Ranch is a last, loving stop for them all. We, with your help, maintain family bonds, provide sanctuary for life, and tender care through death.
Meet our sweet animals below, which also include some very special mascots. Click on each image to read their story. Each page has a sponsor link where you can set up your gift. For more information about sponsorships, please scroll down after the gallery.
Sponsorship Benefits
In addition to the benefit of supporting the life of a worthy and wonderful creature who also benefits others, sponsors will receive:
Your name on each horse’s web page
An image of your horse (or other animal) for display at home
An open invitation to visit them
Periodic updates from our care team
Sponsorship Costs
The cost to sponsor one big horse for one year is $625 per month, or $7500 annually. That covers their land, water, feed, labor, hoof trimming, dental and baseline veterinary care. You can make one annual payment, semi-annual, quarterly or monthly. Any option is easy to set up via each horse’s page. We also accept gifts of stock — neither of us will pay taxes on its sale. And your gifts are tax-deductible.
Is that too high a sum for you individually? Consider forming a group sponsorship. The most important thing to our horses is that you sustain your commitment, along with us. And our multi-species mascots are available to be sponsored, too. And because they are smaller, their costs of care are less. Their sponsorship level is indicated on each of their pages.
How to Give
If you’d like to give a gift of any size to any of our residents, you can do so via any page of this website. Just indicate who you would like us to direct your gift to in the note field.
Contact us if you have questions, or would like to give via Zelle, check, stock or your donor-advised fund.
Is there an animal you know at the ranch who is not in the gallery that you would like to sponsor? Email us as we are continuing to add pages for the other members of our multi-species herd.
Whinnies, neighs, brays, baahs, oinks and clucks of gratitude!
