SPONSOR A HORSE

Why Sponsor a Horse at Back of Beyond?

Back of Beyond has several horses in need of support. Many of these are old, rescued and retired horses. These special horses are an integral part of our summer Christian Ministries, Biblical Counselling and individual sessions. All these programs promote the saving hope of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

We are offering a sponsorship opportunity for interested individuals. When you sponsor a horse or pony, for a month, at $300 (the actual cost of feed, bedding, hoof trimming, vaccinations and veterinarian care) you receive an update and a photo.  Sponsors can schedule in-person visits to develop your own horse connection for that month. Please call or email when you want to visit.

Tom

Tom

Slow, careful, sweet and kind are the best words to describe Tom. Really a big charmer.

Duke

Duke

Duke loves to run everywhere he goes. He is high energy and very friendly.

Eddie

Eddie

Eddie is the leader of all the big black Percherons. Also known as Steady Eddie he is one of our favourite sleigh horses.

Phoenix

Phoenix

Tall, dark and handsome; Phoenix is the most gentle of all the big boys.

Damascus

Damascus

Also known as Big D, Damascus is a big energetic fun-loving guy. He is always one of the first to come for food.

Apollo

Apollo

Apollo rules - he is the top horse over all of Back of Beyond. He is getting older now, but even so, in his mind he is young. He came as a boarder years ago belonging to someone else - his personality was large but his owner outgrew him and was happy to settle him at Back of Beyond. Apollo is a great teaching horse and an excellent leader. He takes care of his herd really well and is best friends with Damascus. He is always up for a good brush and loves to participate in arena activities. He does not like the hose or fly spray!

Beau

Beau

Beau is really striking with his black and white coat and two blue eyes. Beau’s story is a little sad. He was abandoned in a field when somebody found him and saved him. We heard about him and his situation and brought him home to Back of Beyond. Once Beau came to Back of Beyond we found out he had really bad teeth – he’d never gone to the dentist before! Once we fixed that he flourished. He has quite the bounce in his step despite his older age (well into his twenties) and some foot issues. Beau is very friendly and loves people… most of the time. He does not like to be bossed around. He prefers a gentle, respectful handler and responds to them with perfect manners.

Jackson

Jackson

Jackson came to Back of Beyond as a retired show jumper with really sore front feet. Over the years we have him back to being barefoot (no shoes) and he is pretty happy. He is really big (17 hands) and requires a lot of extra food to maintain his weight especially in his old age. His teeth are also getting worn out with age.

He is a really friendly horse and likes to connect with one or two people instead of large groups. Best friends with Damascus. Chestnut has some skin issues that require medications on a regular basis.

He is really enjoying his retirement and has made some special connections at Back of Beyond.

Most of the horses at Back of Beyond are rescued or retired show horses. Their riding days are over. They still, however, have much to give and many things to teach people, young and old. For the horses who call this place home, Back of Beyond offers a safe haven, a gentle hand, and a life purpose.
