If you’ve ever owned a horse, you know they eat. A lot! The average Courage Reins horse is fed close to 5 tons of feed every year. To maintain a growing herd of 20 loving therapy horses, we have many expenses beyond food as well, ranging from vet bills, specific saddles, and tack needs to crucial training. Training our horses is paramount to our success and constitutes one of our largest costs! We continually fine-tune their skills and obedience to ensure a safe environment for our clients. Like humans, horses are social creatures. They thrive in a loving environment with plenty of interaction. Happy horses are healing horses, well equipped to play their crucial role in our program—a role they adore!
