We currently have 6 senior horses who require timothy grass pellet mash, senior grain, and supplements. When you sponsor a senior for $100 a month, which covers their feed, you receive a packet with a photo and a description of the equine you’re sponsoring and regular monthly updates. If you’re local, we invite and encourage you to come visit and spend time with “your” horse. If you’re not local, we will share info via email about your horse, and keep you in the loop – and of course, you’re always welcome to visit too!
Sponsoring a senior improves the quality of their life, and often extends it. Some of our seniors, however, have pre-existing health concerns (like Lily and Eclipse) and may pass. It can be hard for people because we all get attached. Horses don’t like it when we’re in a state of fear, so we practice raising our vibration to a state of Love. They can be our teachers in letting go. Death is a part of life. Senior horses attract a special kind of person.
If you’d like to sponsor a horse, but not a senior, please check out our “Happy Rascals” page.
Jacob
Sweet Jacob has been with us for five years now. The man who owned him in the neighboring pasture was going to let him go because he needed more TLC…we have taken him in and provided that. With a tattoo inside his lip, he’s identifiable as a retired race horse. We’re looking for a sponsor for him to help keep his pellet Senior diet up.

I am a 35 year old retired race horse. When my previous owner was going to turn me out in the Bosque to fend for myself, Happy Rascal Ranch took me in. Although I am somewhat of a star, since my appearance in the documentary Sacred Land Sacred Water, I remain a humble horse. I am sensitive. I enjoy giving back to those who help me. I am always there with a gentle nudge to remind people to slow down and enjoy a beautiful sunset.

I am gregarious and love giving and receiving affection. Being the adventurous type, I enjoy being out on the trail with any human companion, and another horse of course!

Leo – Sponsored!
I’m a 20 year old gelding. I used to be a roping horse, but got too old to do it. I was very thin when I came here, but now I am plump. I love being with Jacob. We share a special bond in our old age. He knows I am a straight shooter, dedicated to those who befriend me. I am grateful for all acts of kindness that come my way.
