Sponsoring a horse is an exciting and highly personalized way to support the Fund and its mission. Sponsors receive a beautifully embossed 8.5×11 leatherette presentation folder, complete with a color photo of the sponsored horse, an official sponsorship certificate, and background information about the chosen horse. Sponsoring a horse is a form of membership, and is renewable annually.

Sponsor now or give as a gift. In addition to individual names, certificates can be made for a family, organization, or business name, e.g. “The Hansens” or “Corolla YMCA,” etc. A gift sponsorship is a great way to introduce someone to charitable giving and to the wild horses of Corolla. Both regular and gift sponsorships can also be made by mail. Click the link below, print the sponsor form, and mail in your sponsorship request.

Sponsorship materials are personalized so please allow up to 4 weeks for you or your gift recipient to receive your package.

HORSES AVAILABLE FOR SPONSORSHIP

Brio

Born in July 2021, Brio was rescued in March 2022 when he was discovered to be alone. We now know that his mother died, though we were not able to determine why. While technically old enough to survive without nursing, Brio was not old enough to survive on his own. Through observation, we determined that he was not thriving, losing weight, and growing lethargic. Once rescued and brought to the farm, he was diagnosed with pneumonia and, because of poor nutrition, his back legs had also atrophied. With specialized care and exercise, Brio has since fully recovered and now happily shares a pasture with three other horses at the farm. He loves kids, playing with toys, and is learning good horse manners from his “uncles.”

Rita

Rescued Mare. Rita is a 13-year-old mare who was taken off the beach as a foal after she was born with severely crooked hind legs. Once treated, Rita was adopted by a wonderful family who she lived with for many years. Her adopted mom became terminally ill in the spring of 2018 and she was returned to us with the promise of good care and a forever home. Rita is an amazing ambassador for outreach and participates in many educational programs.

Ducky

Rescued Stallion. Ducky is a 10-year-old stallion who came to live at the rescue farm in May 2018 with his harem of 4 mares and his yearling son. In early 2018, he and his harem continued to breach the northern fence into Virginia. This repeated behavior led to the harem’s relocation to the farm. At the farm, Ducky is an extremely personable and well-mannered stallion, making him a great ambassador for his breed. Though he doesn’t like traveling off the farm, he certainly enjoys our open houses during the summer and is wonderful for on-the-farm outreach.

Raymond

Rescued Mule. Raymond is a 25-year-old mule, offspring of a wild Banker mare and a domestic donkey once owned by a local farmer. He lived among the Corollas in the wild for over two decades. In the fall of 2019, Raymond was removed from the beach due to several medical conditions that will require specialized care at the farm for the remainder of his life. Though he looks like a mule, DNA tests have shown that Raymond has just as much Spanish blood as many of the other horses!

Junior

Rescued Stallion. Junior is a 17-year-old stallion who was rescued in July 2021 from choking. He is the son of the late, well-known stallion Amadeo, who passed away in March 2020. Amadeo Junior stands out much like his father did. He is a flashy sorrel stallion with a white blaze and a commanding stature, both of which he inherited from his father. At the farm, Junior is one of the kindest and most thoughtful stallions we’ve ever worked with, and often reminds us of his beloved father.
