WE APPRECIATE YOU!

Running an equine therapy program is extremely rewarding.
The lives the horses touch and the healing that takes place is extraordinary.
Maintaining an equine assisted therapy program also takes a significant amount of time and resources.

If you would like to support Hope's Chariot's program there are several ways to do so.

Factors included in the cost of an equine program are:

Purchase price of a horse(s)
Approximately 20lbs of hay twice a day per horse
Daily grain per horse
Vitamin and mineral supplements
Medications and vaccinations
Veterinary services
Farrier services
Dental services
Emergency services for sickness or injuries
Liability insurance
Arena, stall, and barn management (repairs, bedding, cleaning)
Pasture management (seeding, maintenance, fence maintenance and repair)
Equipment such as buckets, bowls, rakes and shovels, brooms, feeders and waterers
Equipment such as tack (saddles, harnesses, and bridles), clothing, boots, and grooming items
Equipment to enhance sessions such as cones, ropes, poles, and items that represent difficulties being addressed in therapy
Planting, maintaining, and harvesting hay fields (Including tractor and equipment cost, maintenance, and fuel)
Specialized training for horse(s) to assure safe and appropriate horse behaviors

In total, costs for caring for a horse can range from $3000 - $5000/ year
