For those with a passion to help horses, consider help by joining our Foster Care Program ,or you can become a Full Sponsor for a special needs horse, or possibly consider our Adoption opportunities.
If you have no horse experience but would like to financially Sponsor a horse you could consider our "Equadopt Program." There are also other ways to save horses that aren't at DEFHR. If you see a horse in need, call your local animal control officer immediately. Let people know its not okay to abuse a horse. Encourage your local humane society to interact with DEFHR, so that they become familiar with DEFHR's work and capabilities. Encourage friends and neighbors to think responsible when purchasing a horse. Be sure that they understand the cost and commitment of caring for a horse.
