Meet The Spirit Horse Sponsors & Volunteer Community!

Chase and the Three Sisters have a team of volunteers and sponsors to care for them while at Sagehill!  Volunteers generously give their time to come out daily to groom, handle and spend time with the horses, ensuring they are healthy and getting everything they need.  These are people with horse experience that can handle the dynamics of horses in pens outside together.  Sponsors are generous donors who help us to cover Chase's board, as well as vet and farrier expenses.  We couldn't do this project without the volunteers and sponsors!  Thank you so much!! ❤️

How Can You Help?

Become a Monthly Sponsor

We are looking for monthly sponsors to cover Chase's costs while he is here, as Sagehill is boarding him free of charge to help promote the Ojibwe Pony breed.  Our goal is $500/month to cover Chase's feed, fencing/shelter requirements, labour, veterinarian and farrier costs.   

• Bronze Sponsors: $10 to $25/month and one-time sponsors up to $300
• Silver Sponsors: $30 to $50/month and one-time sponsors up to $600
• Gold Sponsors: $60 to $100/month and one-time sponsors up to $1200
• Platinum: $125 to $500/month and one-time sponsors over $1200

If we exceed our monthly sponsorship goal, we will use the funding to host and cover or off-set the cost of educational experiences with the Spirit Horses for schools and youth in the community!  ​
