Support the Horses and Women

Want to interact with the horses and the woman who care for them? Become a James River Horse Foundation Sponsor and help provide lifetime care for the horses and critical re-entry skills for the women.

As a Sponsor, you can attend monthly Sponsor Days at Barn 4, where you meet different horses in the herd, get to the know the women caring for them and participate in fun, interactive activities. Social events for our Sponsors are also offered occasionally throughout the year.

The average annual cost of care for a JRHF horse is $2,500. This provides provides food, shelter and vet care for the horses, and certification classes for the women in the program. The James River Horse Foundation rescues and rehabilitates former racehorses while
providing a unique equine educational program for female inmates. Your sponsorship
directly supports our horses and our mission. Whether you choose to sponsor a specific horse or support the program as a whole, every dollar you give directly impacts their well-being. Your generosity ensures our horses have the food, shelter, medical care, and love they need, and your kindness inspires the women who care for them.

You may choose to pay monthly, quarterly, or annually. If you choose a specific horse, we cannot guarantee that horse will be present during our Monthly Sponsor Day, but there will always be wonderful horses and inspiring stories to share. Monthly Sponsor Day is our way of thanking you — a special 90-minute visit to the barn to spend time with the horses, interact with the women in the program, and see the life-changing difference your support makes.

All sponsorship levels make an impact in the lives of the horses and the women, and are greatly appreciated. All donations are tax deductible, and payments can be made in installments throughout the year. And don’t forget, sponsorships make great gifts for your horse-loving friends and family!
