Given the rising cost of feed, one-half of The Herd is no longer receiving daily feedings as of 02/01/08. Some of these horses are in their growth stages or have special needs of rebuilding after starvation or individual medical conditions requiring the nutrition contained in the feed. Your sponsorship of any one of these horses for feedings will ultimately create a healthier horse with less medical bills later in its life:
- Sponsorship for daily feedings for Babee Joy - estimated at $25 per month
- Sponsorship for daily feedings for Jeri-Ann - estimated at $25 per month
- Sponsorship for daily feedings for Handsome - estimated at $50 per month
- Sponsorship for daily feedings for Unit - estimated at $25 per month
