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 trust Special Horses to help the rescues they support. They run many fundraisers and auctions throughout the year. I often participate in those. Niles is the champion equine representative for the nonprofit❤️. I wish them all the luck and success in the future.

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.

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. Five Stars!
I support Special Horses and their advocacy. Their creative marketing means I always click on their stories to read them, and often learn something too! Their outreach to enhance other rescues shows the team spirit Special Horses always shows, including a strong educational portion of excellent strategies for grant writing.

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.

Thanks to their whole crew for what they are doing!
Special Horses is such a great organization. Professionally run, their high ethics and integrity are unquestionable, and go above and beyond.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Thank you so much for your kind comments!
Special Horses is a wonderful organization. Highly professional. Very competent. I participated and bought a wonderful sweatshirt, helping a horse rescue. Win win!

Thank you, and thank you so much for your support!
I have both donated and bought items from the online auctions run by Special Horses. Super easy to do and very affordable items in their auctions. Something for everyone. 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!

Your $$$ will be well spent when donating to Special Horses, they allocate funds to horse rescues who have many success stories. Their spokes horse works tirelessly promoting online auctions (I suspect he has human help at times) I have both won and donated auction items, it was a very easy process. I was very happy with the jewlry I had the winning bid on. I highly recommend checking their auctions, some great stuff shows up and the more you buy the more horses you help! Keep up the good work Special Horses.

Thank you so much! We try and make the auctions fun and the items appealing and affordable for all - so we can help more horses! We so appreciate your donations and your participation!
Special Horses is an honest, amazing asset to the world of horse rescue and sanctuary. They have helped us keep running in times of need. We are a 9 year old rescue and could not have continued our good work without their help.

Special Horses 09/10/2018
This is exactly why we run Special Horses and we are so grateful we have bee able to help!
This is the most helpful charity you will ever find. This charity helps other charities all around the country. They are so knowable and always willing to lend a hand, they have on line auctions for fundraisers for rescues and contribute extensively by helping with ideas and creating fundraising ideas. They make such a difference!

FANTASTIC! Superb communication, and quick and knowledgeable answers to questions. Always willing to assist in any situation, in any way possible. I adore this charity for its mission and accomplishments.

Special Horses began with one woman and one special horse who recognized the need to help other, less fortunate animals. They support all facets of, and many varied, equine rescue. There is always another idea and goal to meet. Plus, they put the FUN in fundraising using social media, with zany and unusual auctions that are eye-catching and attractive, even to non-horse people. I love supporting Special Horses!

A wonderful, passionate advocacy for Equine welfare - always working to help a variety of honest, hard working TRUE rescues across the country. My small business, Rebel Pencils, is a proud supporter of Special Horses.

Wonderful people doing amazing work to responsibly help horses in need.
They shine a warm light in a too often cold and dark World.
Bravo to Special Horses!
I'm a long time supporter and urge you to join us.

Thank you so much for all your support and generosity!
I've come to trust this charity- so much so that I donate money and items to help with their fund raising. There's too many groups that are cheats, so it means everything to me that the money actually goes to the right people and horses. And, when your spokesperson is a horse and an adovocate for his fellow species, how can you not want to help Ted Peeplover!

Special Horses 10/03/2017
Our goal is to be as financially transparent as possible so that every donor knows the proceeds support the equines and rescues in need!

Honest, dedicated and supportive of horses rescues! I have donated numerous art works to help with their mission to supply funds to needy horse rescue groups. I trust them completely to make certain the monies go to the group and not a scam.

Pat, thank you so much. Our goal is to be as financially transparent as possible! We also thank you for your generosity!
Special Horses is a fantastic organization that does so much for the equine community. There advocacy and work on behalf of horses makes them one of the more worthy nonprofits.

Thank you so much for your support!
A good, honest, diligent group who obviously cares strongly about what they do.

Special Horses 10/03/2017
Yes, we do care! and we are so grateful for your support!
Special Horses was very helpful for the non-profit equine rescue that I used to run. They were a god-send with giving much needed donations. So many smaller rescues are over-looked when it comes to donations. Special Horses provides a much needed service to them.

Special Horses 10/03/2017
We do our best to the in-the-trenches rescues! Thank you!
Diligent with tracking donations and communicating with donors, this organization also holds funds for emergency donations to other rescues in need.

Special Horses 10/03/2017
Thank you so much for your generosity and support!
Special Horses is run by caring, compassionate people who truly care about the lives of our equine friends. They very successfully ran an art auction for my non profit horse rescue and worked very hard to make sure it was a complete success. Three thumbs up for Special Horses !!

Special Horses 08/05/2017
We are happy to do what we can to help deserving equine rescues!

I host a Public Affairs show on WIL in St. Louis & I had Wendi Neckameyer, President and Founder of Special Horses on as a guest to talk about the organization. Hearing her passion & learning so much about Special Horses, I know this is something I could feel comfortable sharing with my listeners. I am also grateful to Great Nonprofits because without you I never would have found Special Horses & I wouldn't have been able to help them spread the word of their mission &, believe me, their mission is one that needs to be shared.

Special Horses 01/07/2017
Thank you so much for hosting us and for helping us share our mission with St. Louis!
From what I have seen with the posts on Facebook I can tell that this organization is a very loving, carrying and would go out of it's way to save and protect these loving horses and I am so happy and blessed to be invited and part of this group. I truly love all animals and I am happy that there is an organization that feels the exact same way.

Special Horses 01/07/2017
Thank you so much for your support! We so appreciate it!
This organization is truly a caring one - They support multiple rescues and organizations that that help and support our horses. They fund raise with donations, auctions (with absolutely unique and coveted items) - Bottom line THEY CARE and they support - they have HEART!

Special Horses 10/07/2016
Thank you so much! Your comments mean so much!
This rescue is so awesome. They go out of their way to help several other rescues. They have auctions for art, jewelry, and horse related items. Definitely worth 5 stars in my opinion.

Special Horses 10/07/2016
Thank you for your support - it means everything to us, and to the horses!

Special Horses always goes above and beyond for the equine charities they support. They hold fundraisers, auctions, and advocate for legislation to improve the lives of all horses in our country. They have supported our charity for many years and are tireless in their support of equine in need.

And we are proud and honored to support Bright Futures Farm!
I have a dear friend that runs a 501(c)(3) horse rescue in Pennsylvania, and Special Horses nonprofit has tirelessly raised funds to help her save horses. They hold online fundraisers and auctions on social media, and the money they've raised helps pay for the rescued horse's care, veterinary expenses, dental, and farrier. This is an excellent nonprofit!

Special Horses 05/06/2016
Laura, we are also appreciative of your efforts to help Bright Futures Farm! Thank you!
Excellent and the money really goes to the horse rescues. Thank you Special Horses!

Special Horses 05/06/2016
Thank you, June! And yes, we are committed to financial transparency!
I have worked with Special Horses fundraising for a large horse seizure in Virginia. We fund raised for hay for the rescues that took in the starved, neglected horses.
With the help of the donors and some that offered products whose purchase went to the funding needed;we were able to donate money for much needed hay for the care of the horses from this large seizure. Special Horses is great to work with; and committed to their cause. Easy to deal with and open and up front. I would recommend this organization without hesitation

Special Horses 04/07/2016
We are grateful to have such wonderful assistance to enable us to reach out to more equine rescues, especially in situations of such dire need.
Honest, dedicated and supportive of horses and rescues in need!

Thank you so much, Ginny!
Special Horses is dedicated to raising funds to help horse rescues help horses in need. Horses who have been starved, abused, abandoned.
They also do a tremendous job of helping to raise awareness about the issues of horse abuse and slaughter.
A wonderful organization that does so much good!

Special Horses 04/07/2016
Thank you! We strive to continue this work!
Great organization that is dedicated to helping horse rescues through fundraising.

Special Horses 04/07/2016
Thank you, we are always glad to be of help!
Special Horses has helped a lot of non-profit horse rescue groups in many ways. SH does fundraising to help these groups by hosting on-line auctions and other "virtual" events on their website. Plus SH has a good presence on social media to promote the cause of horse rescue, adoption and horse welfare and brings much needed attention to the organizations they help.

Special Horses 04/07/2016
We are always looking for ways to help equine rescue organizations!
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 04/07/2016
Thank you so much, and we so appreciate your generosity in contributing to our auctions!
Special Horses has been a fantastic partner in fundraising for our non-profit as well as for several others. We have a lot of respect and gratitude for this organization and look forward to many more successful events together.

Special Horses 04/07/2016
We are honored to be able to help the wonderful efforts of The Exceller Fund!
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.

We are thrilled to be able to help such a wonderful rescue as Bright Futures Farm!
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 04/07/2016
We are grateful and honored by your comments!
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.

Special Horses 04/07/2016
Thank you so much for the comments!
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!

Special Horses 04/07/2016
We are proud to include TIER as one of the rescue organizations we support!
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.

Special Horses 04/07/2016
We are honored to be able to help Bluebonnet!
