Mission Statement
Draft Gratitude gives senior working horses a safe retirement.
About This Cause
Draft Gratitude has given a second chance and a caring home to over 100 senior working draft horses. Prior to arriving, these horses lived in farming communities, working tirelessly for years. When they can’t keep up with the workload due to age or injury, they are replaced with younger horses and are faced with a bleak fate. That’s where Draft Gratitude steps in - regardless of the horse’s needs or prognosis. Draft Gratitude’s dedicated team works to ensure the health of the horses in a responsible and compassionate manner. This consistent and often intensive level of care is expensive, averaging $31 per day per horse. While the security that Draft Gratitude provides to horses is undeniable, the positive impact of this organization is not limited to the animals who receive direct care. On a regular basis, Draft Gratitude hosts visiting days, which allows the public to visit the organization, learn about our lifesaving work, and interact with the horses in a safe environment. Additionally, students who are working towards careers with large animals, and young people who participate in 4H and Pony Clubs, come to Draft Gratitude to learn about horse care and gain experience around draft horses. While our dedication to education about draft horses is significant, we are also deeply committed to sharing the therapeutic bond between horses and humans with our community. Horse-human bonding brings about a sense of calmness and therapeutic effects for both horses and people. Volunteers, students, the public, and the horses served by Draft Gratitude all benefit from the remarkable intuition of the horses. With your support, the horses at Draft Gratitude, as well as the human lives they touch, can truly thrive. Thank you for your time and consideration.
