Sponsor a horse
As horses in need are rescued and welcomed at Whispering Hearts, it is hoped that the majority will go on to adoption into loving forever homes. However, for those with dealing with chronic health issues, past injuries or trauma or advanced age, Whispering Hearts becomes their loving forever home.
Providing lifelong care for these horses is a considerable demand on resources. The WHHR Sponsorship Program offers generous donors a rewarding way to be an important part of the solution - a way to show how much you care.
If you are undecided about which horse is right for you, a general sponsorship of the HERD could be the way to go. So many stories, so much hardship in their past and all so deserving of the opportunity of a wonderful future. While it is hoped that the majority will eventually find loving forever homes, allowing more horses to be rescued by WHHR, many will wait a considerable length of time before they find their perfect match. In the meantime, diligent care will continue and donations to help fund that care would be gratefully welcomed.
These horses are in need of your sponsorship:

Once a horse has physically recovered and completed our mandatory training program, he or she is ready to be adopted. This is where you come in. Not only are you giving one special horse a new lease on life - you also help us make space for another horse in need.
We will disclose all and any information we have on your horse. We will do everything in our power to ensure the horse is a suitable match to your capabilities and expectations. Our goal is to send every horse off to their forever home.
But, it doesn't end with us delivering your horse. We will follow up to see how you are coping. We may schedule a follow up visit. We are here to answer your post-adoption questions or address your concerns. And, we hope to receive periodic updates from you.
Please know: We will assist you if needed. For new horse owners or inexperienced riders, lessons with the potential adoptive horse can be arranged at WHHR to ensure you are ready to take your horse home.
We do receive multiple applications for some of our horses and while we do not adopt on a first come first serve basis, we do adopt to the first suitable home available. If you want the best chance to meet the horse of your first choice, it's important that you get your application submitted at the earliest opportunity.
When you see a horse on the Whispering Hearts Horse Rescue website that you think would be a good fit for you, the first step is to check out The Adoption Process, our Horses Waiting for Adoption and submit an Adoption Application. You may have questions about the horse but please be assured that there is no commitment to adopt by either yourself or the rescue until all your questions have been answered, you have met and spent some time with the horse, and it is mutually agreed that the horse is a good choice for your situation.
Even if you don't see a horse in our listing of Adoptable Horses that matches what you're looking for, we encourage you to submit an Adoption Application. Horses become available for adoption as their health and training improves. If we feel that one of those horses would be a good choice for you based on your Adoption Application, we will contact you to arrange a meeting.
Are you ready to make a new life long friend?
Then, let's proceed:

Horses waiting for adoption
Many of the healthy horses living at Whispering Hearts are ready for their forever homes. For every horse that is adopted, a space is made available for us to help another horse in need.
The mission of our Adoption Program is to ensure that you will be able to meet the needs of the specific horse and that the horse will also meet your experience and goals.
Please complete our Adoption Application, this will help us track adoptees. We will contact you as soon as we can once your application is received.

HORSE PRAYER
Don't cry for the horses, that life has set free - A million white horses forever to be.
Don't cry for the horses, now in God's hands - As they dance and they prance to a heavenly band
They were ours as a gift, but never to keep - As they close their eyes , forever to sleep
Their spirits unbound, on silver wings they fly - A million white horses, against the blue sky
Look up into heaven, you'll see them above - The horses we lost, the horses we loved
Manes and tails flowing, they gallop through time - They were never yours, they were never mine
Don't cry for the horses, they will be back someday - When our time has come,
They will show us the way.
Do you hear that soft nicker, close to your ear?
Don't cry for the horses - Love the ones that are here.
