Welcome to the fundraiser page for "Red"(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 Red receives the care and love he deserves, all while benefiting the incredible nonprofit organization, Melody's Haven of Hope at Oregon Horsemanship.
What is one more? Red was a little different and came to us through a Cowboy Dressage friend. For unknown reasons we felt he needed to be with us and, even though we really didn't have the space, we managed to make enough room. He is quite a talker and nickers to welcome everyone. Finding out he has severe arthritis in pasterns, knees, and hocks he had to retire from riding. Most of the “damage” was done before he was 8 years old from what we found, He misses having a job to do but thank goodness through those who love him, he knows he is cared about. He is a heart-stealer and we will give him the best rest of his life that is possible. He requires several supplements and medications to help keep him comfortable in his retirement, as well as special shoes every 8 weeks.
You can pick an item or item(s) that "Red" 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 "Red" with a sponsorship today. Any small donation or even $20 a month will help us maintain him in the way he deserves. Taking care of "Red" is a commitment we take seriously and one that "Red" 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 are 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.
