Where Your Support Goes
Every gift to REIN helps provide the care, training, and support each horse needs to move toward a safe, meaningful future. From the moment a horse arrives, resources are directed toward the essentials that allow them to recover, build trust, develop skills, and prepare for the right next chapter.
Your support helps cover things like veterinary care, farrier work, feed and hay, training, transportation, rehabilitation, equipment, and daily care. It also supports the people, programs, and systems that make thoughtful adoption, education, and long-term follow-up possible.
Because every horse arrives with different needs, the cost of care can vary significantly. Some may need only routine support, while others require extensive rehabilitation, specialized treatment, or months of training before they are ready for adoption. Your donation gives REIN the flexibility to meet each horse where they are and provide what they need most.
Most importantly, your gift does more than pay for care today. It helps create the foundation for a horse’s future, one built on health, trust, training, and the opportunity to become a valued partner.
The Cost Behind Their Next Chapter
Rescuing a Mustang is only the beginning. Every horse that comes into REIN’s care needs safe housing, quality nutrition, veterinary and farrier care, training, supplies, transportation, and the day-to-day support that prepares them for a healthy, successful future.
2025 Average Expenses Per Horse
| Where the Money Goes | Average / Month | Average / Year |
|---|---|---|
| Daily Care & Boarding | $210 | $2,517 |
| Contracted Services | $87 | $1,046 |
| Veterinary & Hoof Care | $28 | $340 |
| Horse Care Supplies & Facility Upkeep | $101 | $1,207 |
| Rescue, Purchases & Transportation | $29 | $351 |
| Insurance & Other Operations | $30 | $363 |
| Average Total | $485 | $5,824 |
These figures represent an average across the herd. Some horses require significantly more veterinary care, rehabilitation, transportation, specialized feed, or professional training than others.
What That Means for a Donor
A $25 gift helps offset a horse’s daily care. $100 can help provide feed, supplies, facility care, farrier services, or training support. $250 represents more than half of the average monthly cost of caring for one REIN horse.
And a $500 monthly sponsorship comes very close to covering the average cost of caring for one REIN horse for an entire month.
Every Dollar Becomes Part of Their Story
Behind every adoption is an investment most people never see: the meals, hoof trims, veterinary visits, training sessions, repairs, transportation, supplies, and countless days of care that happen before a horse is ready for the next chapter.
Your donation gives REIN horses something invaluable: the time, care, and opportunity they need to move from rescue toward a safe, meaningful future.
Thank You, REINmakers™! This is only possible due to your generous support.
