The Angel Program has been established to help horses in need by assisting us in our mission of helping horses. Horses come from auctions, kill buyers, brokers, law enforcement seizures, some have been abandoned, and some come from owners that no longer want them or can no longer care for them.

Often, a rescue organization has to pay to get the horse out of its desprate situation and then pay to transport the horse to their location. This alone is costly. These horses have likely been neglected and/or abused and once they are safe, they are in dire need of vet, farrier, and dental care which is also costly. Then come the expenses that come with every horse; feed, supplements, vet bills, chiropractic, wormers, etc. The rehabilitation costs for most of these horses is high - diagnostic testing, training, etc.

To give an idea of what things cost:

Bale of hay: $5-$8
Bag of grain: $12 average

Supplements: $45/mth

Wormer: $7 - $12

Farrier Trim (no shoes): $25

Winter blanket:  $75

Dental visit (to float teeth): $65 - $100
Chiropractic/Acupuncture treatment: $125

These horses need, and deserve, caring people to help them. The Angel Program is an effective way for you to do this. Maybe you would like a horse of your own but do not have the facilities, time, or money necessary to own your own horse. This program gives you the opportunity to become involved in a particular horses' life and have a direct impact on that horse. You only need to commit your heart to one, or more, of these horses in need or to our rescue. Won't you please consider being an angel?  We've tried to make this easier for angels by setting up a way to automatically make monthly donations via our "paypal", if you choose.

Please take the time to view our horses below to see which of our horses have angels and which need an angel. Any horse can have more than one angel!
If you'd like to be an angel, please send us an email at whisperingwindsequinerescue@msn.com.  If you sign up to be an horse angel, you will receive frequent emails updating you about your horse, pictures, and have your name listed on our site (with permission) as that horse's angel.   Just click on the button for the amount you would like to donate. 

Additionally, Sponsorship horses are also available for adoption.  All potential adopters must fill out an application, submit to a background & facility check, be approved and willing to adhere to specific care needs for the adopted horse.  No horse will be euthanized without notifying WWER, and only due to quality of life.

On behalf of the horses, thank you.
