Why sponsor a horse?
Bluebonnet Equine Humane Society (Bluebonnet) is only able to help the number of horses who come to us each year because of our generous donors. Caring for emaciated horses, injured horses, and ill horses and housing those horses once they’re healthy until they’re adopted is expensive. In 2024, we spent over $130,000 on veterinary care and nearly $20,000 on farrier care. We also spent nearly $150,000 to feed our horses living at foster homes.
When you foster a horse, you provide them with feed, hay, farrier care, and veterinary care.

Sponsors have the option to opt out of any or all sponsorship benefits.
If a monthly sponsored horse is adopted or passes away, his or her sponsor will be sent a message and given the opportunity to switch their sponsorship to another horse.
If a horse with an annual full & veterinary sponsorship passes away before he or she has been in the rescue for twelve months, his or her sponsor will receive an email and be given the option to switch the remaining sponsorship funds to a newly arrived horse or put the unused sponsorship funds into the general sponsorship pool used for horses with no sponsors.
