Donate through the Little Bit Sponsor a Horse program

Little Bit horses are cared for with compassion and a high level of expertise, provided by staff, veterinarian, and trained volunteers. We provide this level of care not only for the benefit of our horses’ health and state of mind, but also with the knowledge that the better we care for our horses, the better they are able to help fulfill our mission. You can provide for the excellent care of a Little Bit horse of your choice through the Little Bit Sponsor a Horse program. The full cost to care for one horse for one year is $22,600 including hay, supplements, veterinary care, farrier services, tack, blanket, stall bedding, schooling (exercise and training), and daily staff care.
