you on the phone if you have an item to donate or you would like to help
us purchase one.

Planned Gifts
There is a very simple way you can make a difference that will last beyond your lifetime.
You may name Once Upon A HorseÔ as a beneficiary in your will, on an
insurance policy, or in an individual retirement account.
There are
many other planned giving instruments available such as charitable gift
annuities and charitable remainder trusts that will not only help Once
Upon A Horseâ„¢, but give you tax advantages. Your financial planner can
help you choose the option that is right for
you.
Sponsorship
Sponsors play a
significant role in the success of our annual Once Upon A Horse
Benefit Horse Show in the fall and other events throughout the
year. Your support helps put on an event for all ages.
The Once Upon A Horse Benefit Show has classes for all breeds to
compete. The primary goal of the show is to serve the local horse
community while promoting fun, camaraderie and good sportsmanship in
Southern Oregon. We strive to educate, enrich and empower local
riders by providing the valuable experience of competing in higher level
OHA (Oregon Horseman's Association) approved horse
shows. Please contact us for corporate sponsorship and
marketing opportunities.
