We are able to offer the majority of our life-changing equine support programs at no cost or very low cost due to the kindness and generosity of our donors.
On behalf of our horses, participants, staff, and board of directors, we thank you for your generous support!
Spuds’ only job at BEAMING is to walk proudly around our arena each day carrying special friends on his back. The only thing Spuds and his stablemates ask in return for a hard day’s work is some hay, a scoop of grain, and an occasional vet and farrier visit. On average, those costs run a mere $9 per day. Join the Spuds Club to sponsor Spuds and our other BEAMING horses!
Membership Benefits Include:
Please consider sponsoring Spuds and his stablemates by joining the Spuds’ Fan Club and pledging $9 (or more) per month.
