Sponsor an Animal
Help care for the animals who make Hidden Pastures what it is.
The animals at Hidden Pastures are part of everyday life on the farm.
They have individual personalities, needs, boundaries, histories, and care requirements. Some participate regularly in programs. Others have quieter roles. Some are still learning where they fit.
Sponsorship helps us provide the food, veterinary care, farrier services, shelter, enrichment, medications, specialized diets, and everyday care they need throughout the year.
There are several ways to help support that care.
Meet the Animals First
Every animal at Hidden Pastures has a story.
Meet Lucky, Mattis, Comanche, Goose, Maddie, the mini horse family, Petunia, the cattle, donkeys, goats, sheep, birds, bunnies, and other animals who call Hidden Pastures home.

Horse Sponsorship
Support a Specific Horse
Horse sponsorship helps provide the consistent care each horse needs throughout the year — the same core needs described above, for a horse you choose to support.
Some horses have routine needs; others require additional medical, rehabilitation, or specialized care. Sponsorship helps Hidden Pastures respond while keeping each horse’s wellbeing first.
Annual Horse Sponsorship Levels

Help cover a portion of one horse’s annual care.
50% Horse Sponsorship — $2,500
Provide a larger share of the annual cost of caring for a specific horse.
75% Horse Sponsorship — $3,750
Help cover most of the yearly care needs for a horse you choose to support.
Full Horse Sponsorship — $5,000
Provide substantial annual support toward the care of one specific horse.
Percentages represent a share of estimated annual care costs, not ownership. Every sponsorship contributes toward responsible, ongoing care.
What Sponsorship Means
Horse sponsorship is not ownership or adoption and does not guarantee access, riding, handling, or visits with the sponsored horse.
It is a way to share in the responsibility of caring for them well.
Sponsors may receive periodic updates and optional recognition.
Choose a Horse to Support
Many of the horses at Hidden Pastures are available for sponsorship, including horses with different histories, personalities, roles, and care needs.
Meet the herd first and choose the horse you would most like to support.
Support the Rest of the Herd
Hidden Pastures is home to much more than horses.
Goats, sheep, pigs, cattle, donkeys, chickens, ducks, peafowl, rabbits, a tortoise, and other animals are part of everyday farm life.
Some participate in educational programs and Animal Visits. Others help protect the pasture, provide eggs, wool, or other farm resources, or simply have their own place in the herd.
General Animal Support helps provide for their shared needs through monthly or one-time giving.
