We are pleased to recommend Special Horses both as professionals in this field and as clients served. Special Horses has taken on a unique and valuable support role for other equine nonprofits. They offer emergency financial assistance for many, sustenance for others, and share strategies and solutions for non-profit operations and grant writing. They are on point, excellent communicators openly and willingly sharing any resources they have. We are delighted to have Special Horses in our corner. We encourage donors to support Special Horses knowing that donations are used thoughtfully and conscientiously. The horses that ultimately benefit are among the most worthy and needy. Attached is a photo of Shakespeare, a once homeless semi-retired draft horse in need of urgent dentistry. Special Horses helped us to help Shakespeare. We are ever grateful to Special Horses and their donors who made this possible. Shakespeare has gone on to become a valuable partner for disabled people and Special Olympics athletes.

I've been involved with Special Horses for quite a while. They've helped a lot of non-profit horse rescue groups in many ways. They raise funds by hosting on-line auctions and other events on social media and their website. Plus they promote the general cause of horse welfare through rescue, adoption , and sanctuary. They also provide valuable news and information on horse-related issues. Please join me in supporting Special Horses!

I support Special Horses because they provide a way to work together for the common good, transforming shared beliefs and hopes into action. Special Horses is an excellent nonprofit who helps and gives back to the community. Their Mission and Purpose is clear, and their financials are transparent. It's been an honor to donate to their fundraisers knowing I am helping others that may need help. I am proud to have been a donor for over 7 years and will continue for years to come. They are worthy of this esteem recognition.

Thank you,

I have been donating and supporting Special Horses, inc. for the last 6 years. Special Horses has a clear mission and purpose. I find them to be honest and transparent, which is the foundation of my support.

Excellent nonprofits are not found. they’re made; and Special Horses is a wonderful nonprofit managed by good people, Founder and Executive Director. Wendi Neckameyer. Ms. Neckameyer has a passion for the Special Horses Inc. mission, which makes this nonprofit very successful in assisting rescue organizations that rescue and rehabilitate horses that have been abused, abandoned, and neglected. They are also 100% volunteer run and receive no compensation for their fundraising efforts.

Keep up the good work, Special Horses, and Niles, the equine advocate for Special Horses. once filled by Ted (Zen's Secret ReaZen). I will continue to be a proud supporter and contributor of Special Horses' work in years to come.

Special Horses rocks! Their emergency support is extremely fast and effective. I have suggested them to 3 rescues who needed a quick donation to aid with unforeseen expenses, and Special Horses has professionally evaluated the application and promptly send the approved small amount of funds that aided them immediately.

I have been a supporter of many non-profits through the years. Special Horses is the very best at outlining my donations to positively represent my business, and I know that all of the money or money raised is going to a great cause. Their vetting process is above reproach, which means what you donate, actually goes to those in need. I used to donate to several non-profits, but I only need this one now! Thanks to their whole crew for what they are doing!

This organization updates donors on the number of donations they’ve made throughout the year, they conduct fundraisers, as well as take donations, they have always notified me when they receive a donation from me and are grateful for any amount. This organization is dedicated to small rescues that may not have the resources or ability to fund raise that larger organizations do have. The Director has always been kind and answers questions very quickly. This organization has leveraged their social media presence as well.

I fully support Special Horses by bidding on and buying items in their many auctions; and I have donated items to use in their auctions to help support these wonderful horses.

This is a fabulous organization. So many non-profits out there all looking for donations. I wish I could help them all, but I can't. Special Horses advocates for certain groups. This tells me the group has been vetted and I don't need to worry if my donation is being used for something other than the horses' welfare.

The original advocate Ted Wells (an off the track Thoroughbred) certainly had a place in all of our hearts. Just go to his page, (he passed away a short while ago) you'll see the heartbreak that spread across Facebook. Special Horses has a new Jr. Advocate - Niles. I'm sure he'll do a great job carrying on Ted's work.

I’ve been a Special Horses supporter for 10 years or so now. I’m so amazed and awed at the tireless work Special Horses does for the rescues they support. I love shopping the auctions for fun gifts and goodies and one day I’ll be high bidder on the fudge! Special Horses has built such a great community of rescued and donor partners that it’s truly one of my favorite organizations.

This is a horse rescue I support with donations of racing memorabilia, promoting on social media and often bidding. Special horses helps many rescues, smaller ones who need the help the most. It is promoted by a wonderful rescue horse (via his owner) on Facebook. The lady who runs this is "Special" too. She is an unsung hero in the world of Thoroughbred rescue. I will continue to support Special Horses in anyway I am able to do.

I personally know the founder and director of this organization. With very limited outside help it does a job helping groups who take in and care for horses that nobody wants and saves them from an inhumane death. All this while maintaining the highest ethical standards. I cannot say enough about this great nonprofit.

I support several organizations dedicated to animal welfare. What makes this nonprofit stand out is that it is managed by one person, founder Wendi Neckameyer and her beautiful horse Ted. I have known Wendi for 14 years and I have never met anyone who works as hard as she does to make Special Horses successful. Not only does Wendi work tirelessly with no staff and limited resources, she also manages Special Horses with integrity and holds herself to the highest ethical standards. Unfortunately, not all nonprofits can say the same. In addition, the organizations that receive funding from Special Horses have all been thoroughly vetted by Wendi to ensure that they too operate with high ethical standards that are true to their missions. When I contribute to Special Horses I know that my money goes directly to help horses in need and not to support inflated salaries or extravagant lifestyles. Special Horses may not be the biggest nonprofit but it’s contribution to animal welfare is huge.

I have been donating to their auctions for years and winning some of them! I LOVE it when Wendi offers her fudge!! It is FANTASTIC.
All these horses are expensive to maintain but these people that run them do without, so the horses have what they need.
There are 5 rescues/sanctuaries Special Horses Inc supports. It's no joke the time and effort this takes for Wendi to organize all these fundraising auctions.
If you decide to help... you don't have to worry where your money goes... DIRECTLY to the rescue to help the horses.

Talk about working tirelessly.. this is where to learn how to do it! I have been donating for years now . Wendi Neckamyer is constantly organizing online auctions which is no small task. The 5 rescues put their horses first and their needs second to make their lives as cushy as possible. There are a bunch of spoiled horses in these rescues that will ALWAYS be spoiled!

The good that Special Horses does goes beyond words. Horses that would otherwise be forgotten and allowed to slip through the cracks are given a second chance at a life full of purpose and love. Horses that have been starved and neglected are brought back to health and finally know a kind voice, a gentle touch, and a full belly. The public outreach, through the use of Equine Advocates, is nothing short of amazing. They speak for those who can't speak for themselves, and educate the public on the need to care for these amazing animals after their career at the track is done or when they have been failed by those they relied on and served. I have been a proud donor to this group year after year, having two of my own ex-racehorses, and can't think of an organization more worthy of supporting.

The volunteers of the Special Horses organization work diligently to raise money and awareness for various horse rescues across the nation. They try to advocate on saving horses from slaughter auctions, and try to create awareness about the many rescue organizations that are out there, giving people a lot of options for adoption. They will raise money for medical needs, feed, farrier, or general operations and donate all of the funds they raise unselfishly. They are the main organization I donate to because I trust their mission and their values.

You know the money raised is going to reputable horse rescues and will be 100% for the care of horses. Wendi and her trusty steed (the handsome OTTB Ted) work tirelessly throughout the year on these online auction fundraisers. I am happy to help. Monetary donations are welcomed any time of year by this nonprofit and a donation receipt is quickly sent
Added bonus, I've actually made new friends via Special Horses, cant beat that, help horses and improve your social life at the same time!

Special Horses does great work raising money for horse charities. The spokeshorse, Ted Peeplover (you can find him on facebook) along with his human are busy collecting a variety of donated items to put in their online auctions, they always come up with interesting things you didn't know you needed until you see them! They have some particularly nice art work at times. I have bought several pieces of jewelry from them myself which arrived promptly and were just as they were pictured. I was so impressed with their efforts to help horses in need I donated an item to one their auctions myself and will do so again. Keep up the good work Special Horses, goodness knows there are 1000's of horses in need of rescue and help to find a new home in this country.

Special Horses works tirelessly to help other equine non profits across the country. that have horses in their care. Their fundraisers are always a success and they don't just do a few events a year... they do many every year. Special Horses has helped our charity with emergency veterinary expenses, and has reached out to us, offering assistance when they saw us take in a neglected horse or have a special needs situation arise with one of our horses. This is a wonderful organization, well run and transparent. We can never thank them enough for their help.

Special Horses and it's founder, Wendi Neckameyer are extremely dedicated to saving horses. When Special Horses aren't fundraising, they are networking the horses who are in need of homes, donations, and gathering signatures for petitions to change the laws regarding horse welfare. This foundation can always be counted on for the latest horse news and provides addresses for each state's representative. This is a fantastic foundation for horses, and follows all the rules pertaining to being a 501c3. Special Horses, in my opinion, is one of the most conscientiously run foundations I have been involved with.

Special Horses does great work. I can donate to them and be assured that they have verified that the various organizations they support are legitimate 501-c-3 operations, and that my donations are not wasted on providing an income for the fund-raisers rather than going to the organizations and equines in need.

TIER-True Innocents Equine Rescue is one of the organizations assisted by Special Horses, Inc. Their fundraisers to assist horse welfare organizations have helped make a difference for the horses of TIER. Their fundraisers are beneficial to our volunteer staff as well because Special Horses does ALL the fundraising work.

The performance of this charity in helping rescues across the nation is commendable. Thank you for being there for so many!

I run Bluebonnet Equine Humane Society, one of the organizations served by Special Horses, Inc. I've had nothing but good experiences with the organization. They conduct fundraisers to benefit horse welfare organizations, and in my experience the events are well-run and we receive donations/proceeds from them in a timely manner. They've always been great at communicating with us promptly and assisting us whenever needed.
