Adopt A Horse

SMART is in need of horse sponsorships which help offset the expense of our annual costs of the care of our therapy horses. “Adoptions” can be made in a business name, family name, in memory or honor of - or any recognition desired. This is a great way to join us in helping to keep our wonderful herd of incredible horses happy and healthy!
