Welcome to the fundraiser page for "Norm," (Quarter Horse gelding) a dedicated initiative aimed at supporting this beautiful gelding in continuing to lead a supportive and healthy life. We invite you to join us in this heartfelt mission to ensure that "Norm" receives the care and love he deserves, all while benefiting the incredible nonprofit organization, Melody's Haven of Hope at Oregon Horsemanship.
Retired from a cutting horse career and looking for a new job, "Norm" came to us by way of a friend. When he needed a new home, we were excited to welcome him to our barn family. Thanks to his special people he has overcome much of his anxiety- except for dinner time!- and is loving his new life as teacher and partner for another generation of horse lovers. We continue to make sure physically he is given the care he needs to continue a long, happy, comfortable life helping humans. We understood his original trainers wanted to retire him before he needed the extra care as he aged while working thru his past experiences. "Norm" will receive special care such as body work, acupuncture, special fitting tack, and arthritis medication and he will get the maintenance and all he needs with us at Oregon Horsemanship.
You can pick an item or item(s) that "Norm" requires to maintain his health and care for a one time donation or monthly regular donations to cover either a specific cost or his entire care. If an item is covered under a monthly commitment we will mark that item. Please consider helping this beautiful gelding "Norm" with a sponsorship today. Any small donation or even $20 a month will help us maintain him the way he deserves. Taking care of "Norm" is a commitment we take seriously and one that "Norm" deserves.

At Melody's Haven of Hope, we believe that every horse, regardless of age or background, deserves a forever home where they are cherished and appreciated. Our passion for equine care has allowed us to grow into a full horsemanship program and sanctuary where we educate others about how our equine partners need and deserve to be cared for and treated. However, with the growing costs for each horse we need your help to support them the way they deserve.
Join us in this journey to support our mission at Melody's Haven of Hope at Oregon Horsemanship. Every donation, big or small, brings us one step closer to ensuring a brighter future for all our equine family. Thank you for your kindness and generosity. We cannot do this without your support!
