Caring for a senior horse can be more difficult in ways than caring for a younger horse. They often need soaked feed, supplements, medications, etc. We want to make sure you understand the horse's needs. Please tell us a little about your horse experience, specifically in terms of feeding, recognizing medical problems, monitoring body condition, knowing when to seek veterinary treatment, etc.

Are you willing to have this horse euthanized when his/her quality of life is no longer positive? (the rescue can help with this expense but you would need to help facilitate this when the time comes). Please elaborate on your thoughts about euthanasia.

Senior horses often do not handle being "shuffled" from home to home well. The intention of the Promise Project is to help match aged horses (over 25) with a permanent place to live out their lives. By signing up for the program the expectation is that you will care for this animal until the end of his/her life. Do you understand this expectation and are you willing to make that commitment. We understand extreme circumstances such as a family illness or death may arise. But we want to make sure you are committed, long term.

The intent of this grant is to provide "support" to an adopter of a senior horse in the form of things like annual basic veterinary care (vaccines, Coggins, float), farrier care and/or a small monthly stipend to offset some of the additional costs you may see for the cost of senior feed, maintenance medications, etc. We will also cover euthanasia when the time comes if needed. We CANNOT cover all of your expenses to care for this horse. Please elaborate about what sort of assistance you are seeking from The Promise Project and what portion of this horse's care you will be covering. Please note that the grant cannot cover any "emergency" type veterinary care. That will be your responsibility if it is anything other than euthanasia.

If we are providing a monthly stipend to offset feed costs or the cost of supplements, we will be mailing you a monthly check for the amount that we mutually agree to. If that is the option you select please list your MAILING address in the box below. If you want assistance with basic veterinary care annually we will need to pay that directly to your veterinarian. We cannot "reimburse" you. Please be sure to communicate with a member of our team prior to scheduling the appointment and we can pay your veterinarian by check or over the phone. For assistance with farrier care we can reimburse you if you obtain a receipt.
