Why Participate?

Who will be Horse of the Year for 2025?

Each year, with your help, we highlight a special equine to be Horse of the Year. Last year, McDreamy finally made it to the Winner's Circle. But wait! A wonderful Diego supporter just couldn't bear to see him left behind, and in the final moments of the 2024 campaign Diego tied it up, and we presented our first ever co-horses of the year!

Who will it be this year? Will Mitch prove that at 19 hands he is a head above the rest? Will Gus's steady presence bring him to a win?

Browse the bios and cast your vote. All participants are eligible to win prizes along the way, so be sure to follow us on our social media pages.

Stay tuned: Horse of the Year will be crowned after July 30th when the votes are tallied!

Sponsor a Horse for a Year

In order to provide services to the more than 200 clients we serve annually, our horses must receive the highest quality care. Our team works hard to ensure that our horses are healthy, happy, reliable, and sound. 

The annual cost of horse care includes hay, grain, hoof care and shoes, dental needs, tack equipment, and stall shavings as well as health care including routine and emergency veterinary care, medications, and supplements. Without this care, the incredible accomplishments of our clients would not be possible.
