Happy, healthy horses are a huge part of what makes our program at Dream Riders successful. Sponsoring a horse is a unique opportunity to make a difference by directly helping a member of our therapeutic herd! Our horses have a very important job and many rely on maintenance medications and supplements in addition to normal upkeep expenses including feed, hay, farrier, dental and veterinary needs.

He is our one and only pony that has brought so much cheer to our herd. He is a great teacher that is patient and willing. Due to his size he has helped many of our younger riders gain independence in their horsemanship skills. Moonpie is in good health but still requires regular upkeep including hay, grain, dental work, farrier, etc.
