Question: How can I see your adoption fees?
Answer: Due to social media regulations, we are unable to put the fees on our Facebook or Instagram posts, so we apologize for the inconvenience if you're looking for it on here. BUT you can find each horses individual fee underneath their bio on the View Our Horses page!
Question: Can I breed my adopted Standardbred?
Answer: No, breeding of adopted horses is strictly prohibited under our adoption contract. Our primary goal is to ensure that every horse in our care is placed in a safe, responsible, and loving home, not used for breeding purposes.
Question: Is the donation process secure if I use a credit card?
Answer: If you wish to donate via a credit card, we highly recommend using the CanadaHelps link as it is a secure donation site and protected! CanadaHelps is a trusted, secure platform specializing in online donations and equipped with the latest encryption and security protocols to protect your personal and financial information.
Question: Why do you do so much fundraising?
Answer: We don’t have any base funding or consistent funding source, every dollar that goes toward feeding and caring for these horses comes directly from those fundraisers. Each horse in our foster care program costs between $200 and $500 per month to cover basic needs like hay and grain—excluding additional veterinary expenses that can quickly add up. Fundraising allows us to offset as much of these costs as possible.
