providing a unique form of therapy and recreation through use of the horse

Patches

Patches was born in South Dakota and was donated by the Funke-Reike Family in 2006.  She was a lesson school horse for able-bodied riders for her first two years at Sagebrush.  She has recently become the most fantastic children’s therapy and beginner riding horse.  She is the most gentle, kind horse who has quite an affinity for young children.

Patches is sponsored from August 2010 until August 2011 by Jim and Elma Cannavino!

Sponsor a Horse

Our special therapy horses work hard, always offering patience, strength, and understanding to our students without asking anything in return. They all receive the best care to ensure that they remain healthy, happy and comfortable. Between veterinary care, routine maintenance, hoof care, feed and supplements, the cost for one horse for one year exceeds $3,000. Please let us know if you are interested in sponsoring a horse for one year, or contributing to the cost of their care.

If you sponsor a horse for an entire year, you will:

  • Receive a certificate of sponsorship with the horse’s picture
  • Receive a tax deductible donation receipt
  • Be recognized on the website, in the annual newsletter, and on the horse’s sign
  • Receive periodic updates regarding your horse
