Adopt-a-Horse
 Help support our horses by adopting your favorite horse!
You may not have room at home for your own horse, but you or your troop can support the council’s dynamic riding program by adopting one or more of our horses. When you Adopt-a-Horse, your generous donation will provide essential items and care for our horses. Each horse may be adopted by multiple individuals and/or troops.

-
Farrier - $35-$75 every 6-8 weeks
