During the Hooves & Gratitude: Connect with the Herd event, you will learn how you can help support their care and well-being through a variety of sponsorship options.

Sponsor your favorite horse, goat, or bunny for the entire 2026 calendar year, six months, or one season. Therapy animal sponsorships make a unique gift for someone special on your holiday shopping list. They are excited to welcome you to the Equestrian Center, demonstrate their important role in the barn, and show off their unique personalities! Join us for an hour or the entire afternoon to learn about our new Friends of the Barn Sponsorship program and mingle with your favorite animals as they showcase: 

  • 1:15-1:45 p.m. Riding for Everyone: Making Mounting Accessible with Lionel and Max
  • 2:00-2:30 p.m. Leading from the Heart: Unmounted Groundwork with Neil, Billy, and Whitney
  • Throughout the event, Painting Demos with Dolly, Liam, and Stevie 

We hope to see you on November 29! Bring your family and friends! 

Please wear sturdy, hard-soled shoes or boots to this event!

If you would like to discuss sponsorship opportunities before this event, including naming one of our goats, please email philanthropy@eastersealsma.org.
