WHY SPONSOR?
The cost of caring for an average of 20 horses a year is overwhelming. As a non-profit organization, Wiregrass Horse Rescue & Sanctuary relies entirely on private donations and fundraising to save equines from neglect, abuse, abandonment and slaughter.
When you become a sponsor, you have a direct impact in helping maintain the highest level of care we are able to provide.
Your sponsorship also helps support the mission of the Wiregrass Horse Rescue & Sanctuary by allowing us to free up funds so we can help equines through community outreach and provide care for future rescues.
BECOME A SPONSOR
The sponsorship program is where an individual, business or group makes an annual or monthly gift which provides us with the support that allows us to continue rescuing horses and focus less on fundraising. Your commitment creates a happy ending for the shattered lives we rescue.
Sponsorship is for any business, group or person who wants to help save horses, ponies, donkeys or mules and can financially commit to providing an annual or monthly donation for a rescue’s care. Many of our rescues often require more medical attention than the average horse. Rescues may need months or even years, to return to health and rebuild their trust in humans.
Sponsorships make legendary gifts to give a friend or family member who loves horses. Give a sponsorship as a gift for birthdays, holidays, or special occasions. Sponsoring a rescue is a great way for groups and organizations such as schools, church groups and clubs, to support their community.

Meet Scarlet! Scarlet is a thoroughbred, aged in her late 20's. Scarlet was rescued with a group of 20 horses out of Arkansas. We pulled the 2 worst cases in the herd. (Scarlet & Ginger). Scarlet has had some type of injury to her mouth but we were able to get corrective dental done on her. She had to have a few teeth extracted due to her neglect. Scarlet also had an ulcer in her right eye which required it to be removed in 2025. She is managing great after the removal. It doesn't seem to bother her at all and she has become much calmer so we know it was causing her pain. Scarlet is up for adoption but only as a companion horse. She is not suitable for any type of riding.

Meet Ginger! Ginger is a thoroughbred, aged in her late 20's. Ginger was rescued with a group of 20 horses out of Arkansas. We pulled the 2 worst cases in the herd. (Scarlet & Ginger). Ginger is pretty laid back but she picks her people. She will definitely test you but once she bonds with you, she will be in your pocket. Ginger doesn't stand for the farrier but she tries. (insert toddler tantrum attitude) Ginger is easy to catch but really she just wants you to tell her she's pretty and give her treats. Sadly, Ginger has not had the best 2025. She was diagnosed with Cushings. She is on a daily medication to help but it does cost around $70/month. She is also on more of a special diet to help control her cushings symptoms. Ginger is up for adoption but only as a companion horse. She is not suitable for any type of riding.

Meet Shiloh! Shiloh is aged in her late teens, she is a black TWH. Shiloh was originally rescued in 2017 in a group we called "The Pinckard 5".

Meet Shiloh! Shiloh is aged in her late teens, she is a black TWH. Shiloh was originally rescued in 2017 in a group we called "The Pinckard 5". Shiloh was adopted but returned to us in October 2025 at no fault to her own. (adopter had health issues) Shiloh has trust issues and can be hard to catch however we are working with her daily. She is not considered "adoptable" at this time due to her trust issues. We believe that in order to set up a horse for success, we want to make sure they are not only physically ready to move into their forever homes but they are also mentally ready. However, if someone with established history of working with a hard to catch/trust issues horse comes her way, we would consider it! Shiloh has been ridden in the past but we have not tried to do any type of riding since she has been back. We are only working on her trust issues and ground work. Shiloh presented some potential dental issues when she came back so we did have dental work done. She will need another dental in 6 months.

Meet Gypsy! Gyspy is aged around 8-10 years old. Gypsy was rescued out of Webb, AL. We were contacted by a local horse lover about a horse that was down in a pasture in need of help. We agreed to take her in and she went straight to the local vet hospital where she spent the next 6 weeks. She has club foot in both front feet. At her initial vet intake, she had MAJOR work done on her severely overgrown hooves. This was done slowly over the course of her 6 weeks in the hospital by a vet. She also had several x-rays to watch her rotation closely. Gypsy is recovering well and we will continue to provide her with the best care for her condition. Sadly, she will never fully recover. We do have a special farrier that comes every 4 weeks to work on her feet under the direction of our vet. She also gets bodywork done after every farrier visit. Gypsy is also on a special diet to make sure she doesn't gain too much more weight. Gypsy also has pads that she has to stand on daily and we have boots for her to wear to also give her some cushion on her front feet. Gypsy would only be adopted out to someone that can continue with her care, which is expensive. She is also limited to a small pasture/dry lot since she isn't able to move around like a normal pony. (Don't worry, she has her little friend, Tinkerbell, with her at all times.)

Meet Poco! Poco was born on April 9, 2013. Poco is possibly an appendix gelding. We do not know what his father was but his mother is a TB. We can order a DNA kit if the potential adopter would like it done at their expense. Poco came to us as a little surprise in his mommy's belly.

Meet Poco! Poco was born on April 9, 2013. Poco is possibly an appendix gelding. We do not know what his father was but his mother is a TB. We can order a DNA kit if the potential adopter would like it done at their expense. Poco came to us as a little surprise in his mommy's belly. His story: We were contacted by the Houston Co Sheriff Department in 2012 about a horse that had been roaming for months. No one would claim her so we took her in. After her vet check, we realized she was pregnant. A sweet couple adopted her and could not wait to have a baby. Poco was born into a very loving family, he has attended the Pat Parelli colt starting program as well as the Auburn University colt starting program. Sadly, due to health problems, his family decided they could no longer provide care for him so he came back to the rescue. (Don't worry, his mom was adopted by someone else and she is living her best life!) Poco has never been started under saddle but we do currently have someone working with him. We hope to have him ready for the next step soon. Once he is considered adoptable, he will be adopted out with a 30 day training contract. (Meaning that his adoption fee will include 30 days at one of our trainer facilities.)

Meet Remy! Remy is in his late 20's, his breed is unknown but we were told he was used in the rodeo world at some point in his life. Remy is fully retired and only adoptable as a companion horse. He has no health issues other than being on senior feed. Remy was rescued from Geneva Co by the Geneva Co Sheriff Dept. several years ago. He was adopted out and later returned at no fault of his own. Remy is a big teddy bear, loved by everyone. He LOVES attention, treats and is simply the bestest old man. He stands for the farrier, first to greet you at the gate and is a true gentleman when leading him around. He prefers all of your attention 24/7. Low man in the herd, gets along with anyone. He just wants to eat and chill.

Meet Tinkerbell! Tink is in her late 20's and stands at 28 inches tall. She is a dwarf mini.

Meet Tinkerbell! Tink is in her late 20's and stands at 28 inches tall. She is a dwarf mini. We were contacted in November of 2024 by a local animal lover, asking if we could take in a mini that was abandoned. We picked her up and she was so tiny that we could actually carry her. She immediately went to the local vet hospital for evaluation where she stayed for a week. During this time, she had some dental work done and a few hoof trims. She has several deformities in her feet. Once we brought her to the rescue, we had several follow up appointments in Auburn, AL at the Auburn University Large Teaching Hospital. She was able to get more farrier work done and had toe extensions added. She still has to get that done every 4 weeks but luckily we have a local farrier that has been able to take on her case since he has experience with her condition. During one of her trips to Auburn, she also had some serious dental work done. Sadly, she had a few broken teeth and we had to have those removed. Tink is tiny but she has a HUGE personality. She is still not cleared by our vet to be adopted due to her ongoing feet and dental issues. She is also on a very special diet so she doesn't gain anymore weight. She is on a dry lot with her bestie, Gypsy.

Meet Little Man! Little Man is around 34 years old. Sadly, his owner passed away and he needed a safe place to land. Little Man has some health issues going on that we need to address immediately. He will be seen by the vet on Jan 8, 2026 for initial intake vetting, vaccines and exam. We do believe that he may have EPM. He was kicked by another horse at some point so he does have some type of injury but we are waiting on previous vet records to see exactly what happened.
