Sponsor T.E.C.

• What is the Sponsor A Horse Program?
The Program is a way to help The Therapeutic Equestrian Center defray the expenses of maintaining the horses used in our Therapeutic Riding Program. Individuals, Organizations or Corporations can make a l pledge for the upkeep of a particular horse. Smaller donations can also be made to the general horse fund, to be used on equipment and tack. Sponsorships are annual commitments, commencing the date the donation is received. The donation or monthly pledge must be renewed yearly to remain in place.

• Can two or more individuals pool funds to sponsor a horse?
Yes, two or more persons or organizations may "partner" to sponsor a horse. The certificate and stall plaque will recognize all donor partners.

• Will my funds be used exclusively for my horse?
All funds received through The Sponsor A Horse Program will be used exclusively for the development and maintenance of a sound, healthy, and well cared for group of horses for TEC’s Therapeutic Riding Program. Funds are used for feed, bedding, shoes, veterinary care, etc. The monthly pledge amount is based on an average monthly cost to maintain an average horse. Some horses require more, some less. Funds are pooled and used for the overall herd.

• What do I get in return for my donation?
You and/ or your company will receive an abundance of recognition for your generosity. You will receive a Certificate of Sponsorship with a photo of your horse and a duplicate Certificate will be displayed on your horse's stall. You will also receive recognition in the TEC Newsletter, Horse Show Program and other printed materials, and on the TEC web site.

• Will my donation be tax deductible?
The Therapeutic Equestrian Center is a recognized non-profit organization under section 501(c )(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under most circumstances, your donation will probably be tax deductible, however you should check with your tax advisor.

• Can I visit my horse?
You are welcome to stop by and visit your horse during normal program hours, but we suggest that you call ahead to determine when your horse is not on duty. You will not be allowed to ride your horse due to insurance regulations, however in some circumstances, you may be allowed to brush your horse and assist with some of his daily care. Always ask a member of the staff for assistance.

• How will donations to the General Horse Fund be used?
Donations to the general horse fund will be used for general maintenance of the horses as well as for special needs, feed or medical supplements, special training, the purchase of equipment such as blankets, saddles, and bridles, and special projects geared toward making our horses more safe and comfortable (such as fencing and run-in sheds)
