How You Can Support Us

Horse Sponsorship & adoption
Our horse sponsorship program is unique and beneficial for both the human and the horse. It’s a great way to support our rescue and get your boots in the dirt by developing a relationship with the special horse that you have chosen to care for.

Adoption
Have you fallen head over boots for the one horse that you are sponsoring? That’s great news and we are so happy for you!! Lets make it official. Our adoption process requires a minimum of 6 months full-sponsorship. The adoption fee varies based on several factors - the initial price paid for the rescued horse by PHR (if applicable), rehab costs, training, etc. You will receive a certificate of adoption and the title of the horse will be yours.
Owner boarding is $275/ month. As an owner you are financially responsible for vet care, dental work, farrier bill (horseshoes), etc. If you choose to keep your horse living at PHR you will pay the boarding fee. Of course, we would love to have you stay and you are always welcome to ride along with us here at PHR. We love adoptions that turn into boarders here at PHR. We get attached and are happy to see them daily and making progress.
Owners will be responsible for paying for de-worming (4 times a year), farrier care (every 8 weeks), annual vaccination for tetanus and any vet care that their horse may incur. We happily schedule the farrier once a month & can remind owners if their horse is in need of shoes or a trim - $60 for a full set of all four shoes, $50 for half shoes (some horses only need the front shoes) & $30 for trims.
become a foster home
We are looking for loving homes to foster our pups, kittens, dogs and cats in San Diego so we don’t need to cross the border with them for meet and greets. If you’re interested in becoming a part of our foster network, please contact us on the below form.
donate your time
If you have time to donate, we can use that too. Contact Pretty Horses Ranch below to see what projects we are currently working on.
become a corporate sponsor
Whether it’s through monetary gifts, in-kind donations, cause-marketing campaigns or volunteering, our corporate sponsors have been a vital part of helping us deliver care to our horses.
Some of our corporate sponsors include Petco and Baja Bound Insurance Services.
