Sponsorship

Many folks believe that Home At Last is funded or underwritten by the government. It is not. Home At Last exists only through your generous donations and sponsorships of the animals. We are recognized as a charitable organization and are a non-profit. (We don't know what the word profit means. There is always more going out than coming in.) We have no paid staff. Jim and I do not receive any monetary benefit from Home At Last. In fact it is our savings that make up the difference each month in the cost of running Home At Last.
Some of our animals are sponsored. There are caring people who want to help the horses. 10 of our animals are fully sponsored. Three are partially sponsored. The rest are not sponsored. That means over 40 horses, donkeys or mules need your help. A full sponsorship is $150.00 a month. There are partial sponsorships of any amount you wish to send.

Callie is a lovely mule- age 35-100 according to Dr Darling. Callie does not have enough teeth left to be more accurate. She has a large broken front knee that causes her to limp, but she does not seem to be in pain. A broken tooth was pulled when she first came. She loves her ears to be rubbed and will stand all day if someone will scratch her ears, neck or back. She is a bay, about 13.2 hands tall. She's very boxy and looks to be like a small draft mix. Callie needs a sponsor. Are you the one who will make Callie your special girl?






Babe is a Pony of the Americas. She's a beautiful red Appaloosa with a sparkly personality. She is a squealer and likes to push her buddy Lacey around. She's an older girl about 13 hands tall. She had the strangles and lost quite a bit of weight. She and Lacey are in the lower barn for a while to get some extra calories. Babe was a barrel racer in her youth. She and granddaughter Beth had several lovely times together. Is Babe your special horse?

Smoke is a registered Quarter Horse who had some mistreatment. He was lame and very afraid of being hit. He turned his rump to us all the time. That is usually a sign of aggression , but for Smoke it was a way to keep from getting hit in the front. Now he turns his rump because he knows he'll get a good bottom scratch. He is still a little afraid but once he is caught he is a gentle good boy. He is a sorrel and is an outstanding horse. Could you find it in your heart to help sponsor Smoke?

Jake is a PMU rescue. He's a Brabant Belgian, a red roan. He was rescued by Animali in Santa Maria who brought him down from Canada. He is truly a gentle giant. He's, also, camera shy. He's only 6 and weighs about 1400 pounds. He's ready to be trained. Draft horses need a little longer to mature before starting training. Is your heart big enough to hold Jake?

We have had Quincy for almost 6 years. He was so badly beaten that he just cannot trust people. He will come up and touch your hand and occasionally will let someone pet him. He loves to run and when he does his tail is held high over his back. He's very fast and beautiful. Can you take Quincy into your heart and help sponsor him?

Jim is busy building a winter goat house. He's going to build a jungle gym for them, too. When he finishes that, he'll start the calf castle and new horse shelters. We can use many more shelters or building materials for shelters. Let is know if you have something we can use.
Thank you Misty and Sequoia for your donation.

Boy, is it hot!!!! We are up early, trying to get the chores done before it hits 100 degrees.
