Sponsoring a horse is a wonderful way to help if you have limited time space or finances and can’t commit to a lifetime of horse care.  It is a opportunity to make a difference by directly helping one of the rescued horses. Your monthly donation will help provide feed, supplements, medical treatment, rehabilitation and other costs that are directly associated with your sponsorship.  A sponsorship can be a great gift idea or a wonderful program for groups or organizations.  Rescued horses are usually in need of special care from extra feed, supplements to medical care. This can be a very expensive care for the rescue to handle.  Britten Farms is in need of sponsors! It takes a lot of grain and hay to feed the horses for a month. We also use a lot of supplements. We would love to help more horses in need (there is a waiting list of those wanting to relinquish their horses to the rescue) so sponsoring a horse already at the rescue would allow the rescue to help others in need!
