Become part of their story
Sponsors play an incredibly important role at Herd On The Ridge Inc. Their generosity helps us provide the ongoing care, feed and support that the animals in our care depend on.
Sponsorship is more than just a monthly contribution. It is an opportunity to become a meaningful part of an animal's life, follow their journey and help shape the next chapter of their story.
Sponsorships start at $50 per month, with the option to become a sole sponsor or share the cost with others. Every contribution makes a difference.

Our Village
Behind Herd On The Ridge is a village of people who believe that making a difference takes more than one pair of hands. From the people who show up, lend their skills and help care for our animals, to those who quietly support us from afar, every contribution helps make our work possible.










This didn’t start today
Our commitment to animal rescue began long before Herd On The Ridge became a registered charity. After decades of helping animals privately, we're building something bigger than ourselves: a place where horses can find safety, rehabilitation and lifelong sanctuary, and where we hope to one day welcome people through education, connection and wellbeing opportunities.
