Help Us Keep Horses with Their Owners

In 2020, we launched our Horse Owners Assistance Program. The purpose was to provide short term assistance with hay and grain to help horse owners experiencing a temporary financial hardship. Our goal was to keep horses with the people who loved them.

For the past five years, we’ve been doing just that: letting owners keep the horses they love when they’re experiencing a job loss, death in the family, unexpected medical bills, etc.

This year, the need is greater than before. The economic hardships faced by many right now, job furloughs, job loss, etc. means more and more people need our help. The government shutdown is also impacting horse owners, and we’ve started to receive request for help from federal employee families. But we’ve nearly depleted our funds for 2025.

Your donation may make the difference between someone being able to feed – and keep – their beloved horse and that same person having to surrender their horse to a rescue. I don’t want to see anyone giving up their beloved horses due to a short term financial problem.

Why Sponsor a Horse?

Bluebonnet Equine Humane Society (Bluebonnet) is only able to help the number of horses who come to us each year because of our generous donors. Caring for emaciated horses, injured horses, and ill horses and housing those horses once they’re healthy until they’re adopted is expensive. In 2024, we spent over $130,000 on veterinary care and nearly $20,000 on farrier care. We also spent nearly $150,000 to feed our horses living at foster homes.

When you foster a horse, you provide them with feed, hay, farrier care, and veterinary care.

Bluebonnet Awarded 55 Horses and One Donkey in Brazoria County Cruelty Case

August 28, 2023; Brazoria County, Texas:

Bluebonnet Equine Humane Society was awarded 55 horses and one donkey from a neglect and cruelty case in Brazoria County, Texas. These horses were part of a large case involving both cattle and horses, and Bluebonnet had worked with veterinarian Dr. Kris Anderson and the Brazoria County Sheriff’s Department on this case.

Taking in 56 animals at once is a huge, and very expensive, undertaking – but it is why we exist. Right now, we estimate that the initial veterinary care for these horses will be over $20,000 – and that is with our veterinarian donating part of her work.

Since many of these horses are not halter broke, we will also need to pay trainers to work with them so they’re able to be handled.

And of course, there are also many other expenses we incur in handling such a large case. If you are able, please donate – this is the largest case we’ve ever been involved in. You can donate via Paypal or you may mail a check to BEHS, PO Box 632, College Station, TX 77841.

We will be introducing you to some of these horses throughout the next few weeks, updating you on estimated expenses, and posting more about this herd. We can still use more foster homes – because these are not the only horses out there needing help. You can apply to foster here.

We also want to thank the Brazoria County Sheriff’s Office, Brazoria County Sheriff’s Office – Animal Control, Sweeny Fire and Rescue, River’s End Fire Dept., Equine Mobile Veterinary Services: Kris Anderson DVM, the Brazoria County Attorney’s Office, and the Bluebonnet volunteers all of who have worked to get these horses safe. Thank you – you have made a huge difference in the lives of these horses.
