How to Sponsor a Horse:
 
As you may imagine, caring for these neglected, abused and/or slaughter horses can be a very expensive endeavor.  Each of our wonderful horses costs KOTHRR an average of $250 to $450 per month, depending on the shape they came in.  This cost includes grain, hay, bedding, shoeing, supplements, farrier (hoof care) and specialized veterinary services.  We 
would like to offer you the opportunity to sponsor one of our horses until we find them an adoption home. 
 
Levels of Sponsorship:
1-year        $1500 - $2000
8-month     $1000
6-month     $750
3-month     $375 (Basic expenses)
1-month     $125 (Basic expenses)
 
You can also help us by sponsoring a special service for one of the horses:
 
Sponsor a trailer ride from the Slaughter Sale (1/2 tank/gas...average $45-$50)
Sponsor a visit for the equine dentist (average $90) 
Sponsor a trim ($40) or basic set of shoes ($95)
