How it works
By committing annually to a $100/month sponsorship of a mustang or burro, you help us enormously by supporting our existing rescues so we can continue saving more.
SPONSORSHIP INCLUDES:
A personalized Certificate of Sponsorship with a photo of the horse or donkey you choose and your name.
A 60 minute one-on-one visit to Skydog Ranch to meet the horse or burro you are sponsoring, spend time hanging out with them, take photographs and ask questions of our staff.
To visit your sponsored equine, you must be a sponsor for at least 9 months. Anyone who wants to see them sooner will have to pay for 9 months ($900) in advance of their visit. We regret that this has become necessary. We need to discourage those sponsoring for one month in order to visit the ranch, then canceling because they don’t actually care about supporting the animals or our work. These tours take up a lot of time from our staff and the important work they do caring for our rescues.
Choosing a Mustang or Burro to Sponsor
You can search for posts about individuals on Instagram or Facebook with a hashtag that combines the word “skydog” with their name (#skydogdream #skydognugget). You can also go to the Then & Now page on the website to see their photos and read their biographies. (Note: their pages are currently being updated.)
Sponsor a SKYDOG on Patreon
A great way to sponsor a Skydog is by becoming a patron on Patreon and signing up for the $100/month Lead Mare level. This automatically makes you a sponsor and gives you access to exclusive content that we don’t post on other social media platforms. Each new episode of the Horse Love Podcast is released there, as are special offers on merchandise, and breaking news.
Skydogs who need sponsors
Mustangs: Nutmeg
Nutmeg
Nutmeg is one of the four mares we saved from a killpen and named for spices and gemstones. She came to us so thin and sick, but has been restored to the self-assured, lovely dun we see today. As other mares were added to her band, Nutmeg trotted up to meet them face to face, planting her feet firmly to see who stepped back first. In this supreme moment when their position in the herd is established, it was almost always the other horse, who deferred. She enjoyed a winter fling with Slash, who took advantage of an open gate to see what was on the other side of the hill and found the mares. After he moved on, they joined Cruiser’s family. A mellow leader, he leaves it to his mares to decide who can and cannot join his family, so Nutmeg is in her element in this happy, harmonious. wild band. More about Nutmeg
