Special Horses

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 know that 100% of my donation goes directly to help horses in need. This non-profit runs seamlessly, backed by a dedicated director and long-term volunteers. I am proud to support Special Horses.

I've been with this charity for years. An excellent resource for horses and people in need and an upstanding member of the equine community. Five-star Rating!

Special Horses is really SPECIAL. Their caring and compassion for horse rescues and sanctuaries is commendable. The people are very compassionate and passionate in what they do. From hay to feed to medicines, they’re there to assist any way they can. I’m happy to be a donor to Special Horses.

This organization is my go to when I have a little extra cash! The nonprofits they help have been checked & double checked. Ted & Nile’s started an incredible group that helps with emergency needs & the comfort & support they offer is second to none. This is the group to support if you love horses. ❤️

I have been following and supporting Special Horses for at least a decade now, and am constantly impressed by the positive impact they have on horse rescue organizations - and, of course, the vast number of horses those rescues help each year. I would never hesitate to support them.

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,
Jill Lewis

We run a horse rescue and reached out because a feral horse had been donated as a gelding but was in fact a stallion. They quickly sent a gift to help ease the cost of his alteration. We are so grateful for their help!

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.

Special Horses is a unique and inspiring nonprofit that provides Emergency funds to support other nonprofits. Special Horses is inspiring in their promotion of collaboration, teamwork and partnership to support horses. It’s an honor to be connected to Special Horses and the profound work they do! ������❤️

Great organization, I've been a supporter for years! I love what they do!

Special Horses is such a great organization. Professionally run, their high ethics and integrity are unquestionable, and go above and beyond. I have been a big fan of Special Horses for many years, and have enjoyed the antics of their Thoroughbred Horse Spokesmen, Ted and Niles. I cannot say enough good about Special Horses. Thank you for all you do to help horses in need!

I have been around a lot of nonprofits over the years. I have never seen one that works more tirelessly and is more dedicated to their causes. A LOT of folks have Special Horses to thank for their help. I hope they continue for years to come.
Thank you!

They help a lot of horse rescues and Niles, the spokeshorse is quite the character

Special Horses is a wonderful organization that helps many horse rescues receive the support and care they need through auctions and fundraisers. This organization is very organized and transparent. I have been participating in their fundraisers for a few years now and Wendi has always been very professional and responsive with any questions I have. A highly exceptional non-profit that is trustworthy and truly cares for the horses in need!

Fantastic, caring, and does so much for other rescues. Countless horses are helped by this non profit.

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.

Love love love Special Horses! Been a donor for about five years. Will continue to do so!

Wendi has been an incredible and vital part of this organization. She ensures it is running smoothly and the fundraisers are loaded with quality items to bring the best potential outcome for the recipients at that time. I am a HUGE supporter of the organization and appreciate all the hard work and honesty put into it. If you are looking for an organization that makes a difference to MANY non-profits, foundations, and horses, look no further and consider Special Horses as a primary option to receive your donations.

I have known the organizer for over 10 years and you would be hard up to find a more dedicated individual to the cause.

This nonprofit goes above and beyond to support horses in need of all breeds. They are creative in their approach, and demonstrate integrity and empathy in everything that they do. Truly the best!

This unique nonprofit organization helps other nonprofits. Whether helping with fundraising or grant writing or to answer a special need, they are always responsive and there to help make things happen.

What an amazing organization. Wendi and her equine advocate Niles & Ted work tirelessly to help horses in need. She does the BEST fundraisers and auctions and I have been supporting all of their efforts for many years. I am in awe of what she is able to accomplish and am grateful for the important work Special Horses does to help horses in need.

Special Horses has a unique multi-pronged approach to advocating for the welfare of the equine species. Imaginative means have helped so many horses and those who love them live better lives. Well worth supporting!

Special Horses is a professionaly run and VERY Caring non-profit charity.

Special Horses helps support many other nonprofit rescues in helping care for senior horses and horses with medical needs. I have supported them thru some of their fundraising efforts to help comfort the lives of neglected, abused and senior horses. And by giving younger horses a new lease on life. They are an excellent organization and deserving of high praise and recognition

This nonprofit is excellent in its care for horses. Always very helpful!

Fabulous what they do for the horses HIGHLY recommended

Boy, I don't know any other non-profits that do as much. Posting about equines in need, sharing posts from various rescues, holding MANY on-line auctions every year. (By the way, I bid and won a beautiful alpaca necklace and earrings set)

Luckily I haven't had to use their services for my horses, but if I needed them, I know they'd step up.

Special Horses does great work in raising money and awareness for the long term care of horses that need extra help.

Rescues are always challenged; that is even more true during difficult economic times. This rescue is a labor of love and the supporters are the lifeline.

I have been in awe of the work Special Horses has done, and continues to do, to help horses in need. Raising money is no easy feat, but Special Horses gets it done! The money goes to disadvantaged equines around the country - the ones that most need the money. Great job, Special Horses!!

Excellent organization that not only helps raise funds for horses in need but also helps people purge their household items that are no longer needed. Documentation of donations is always timely as well

I love the work they do. They are able to help so many. Their fundraisers are interesting and varied. I’m very proud to be a part of this nonprofit.

Awesome charity that helps horses all over the country. I’m proud to support them!

Special Horses does so much to help horses and animals in need. Their auctions are a fun and great way to help raise funds; everyone that makes them possible have always been so courteous and helpful!

Special Horses is a wonderful rescue group. They go the extra mile to help horses in need. They Rock!

Adore this organization! We love horses and love helping those in need!
Thank you Special Horses for EVERYTHING you do!❤️������

I have followed this team for years, dealing with Everything you could possibly imagine! The horses Always come first, they stop the 'human' brain from looking for an answer and find something that works in the horse's perspective...So important when trying to maintain a RESCUE...You Are there For The Animals...I taught riding, trained race horses and have always put them first in my family, which is why a donate a small amount (now disabled) monthly. A bunch of people working very hard for the horses.Only!! They answer questions or find you an answer from amazing connections...The Best...

I have been supporting Special Horses for many years. They assist equine rescue organizations that save and rehabilitate horses that have been abused, abandoned, and neglected. The equine rescue organizations are carefully screened and selected trustworthy 501c equine rescue organizations. I feel extra proud to support Special Horses knowing of all the horses that are helped.

They work so hard to help the horses! It hasn't been easy with the virus but they keep on trying to help these horses!

First class! The work Special Horses does is amazing. They go above and beyond. They have a connection with the people. They are genuine, hard working, and honest. Your money goes directly to help the horses. And their Jr. Advocate is a sweetheart! I am proud to speak of them and help when I can.

For years I have been following and donating to this great reputable charity. One of the best! I wish them long term success!

They are devoted, consistent, knowledgeable and passionate for the welfare of horses.

I have donated items and bought items to help this very wonderful cause. They help so many horse organizations. Special Horses is a wonderful organization. They deserve 5 stars.

Special Horses does an amazing job supporting, helping, and educating equine rescues.

Amazing group of individuals dedicated to the rescue and care of our beloved equines.

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.

Just a few months ago I was elected to be on the Board of Directors of a horse rescue. Part of my new position is to write grants. I had absolutely NO idea of where to even start and I found Special Horses - thank GOD! Wendi has been SO helpful, I can't put into words. This organization is a priceless asset to other nonprofits.

I'm a huge fan of Special Horses and all they do to bring awareness to and raise funds for horse aftercare programs and facilities. I love their auctions to help the horses and think it's a clever and wonderful way to assist!

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.

Special Horses is an amazing group. They help horses in need to get the hay and medical assistance they so desperately require.

Love special horses...and ted and niles!!!..xxxooo

Consistent. Humane. Willing to go many extra miles for so many.

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 am proud to help a cause as worthy as Special Horses, Wendi is a fantastic administrator that helps all equines. As a donor, I offer an ongoing site wide discount coupon code SPECiAl HORSES at stephanieneofotis.com.

"As someone who took in and now owns mustangs who were at risk I consider myself a very astute judge -- Special Horses is among the very best equine care non-profits."

Special Horses people go above and beyond to help horses. They make the world a better place. Their fundraisers have such unique items!

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.

I have supported this non-profit for years and can say that everyone there works tirelessly to raise money and awareness for equines in need. They are unique in that the funds are given to different equine charities.

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.

I have watched this non-profit from the sidelines for some time. I worked rescue two decades ago before it was fashionable. Special Horses keeps that Very proud tradition of special horses and special horse people alive in Honorable fashion. With all the fly-by-night organizations out there, Special Horses is a shinning example of all that is right,good, and true in this portion of the equine industry.

Special Horses is a wonderful non-profit that helps many equine rescue organizations around the country with fundraising efforts and more. As one who is in the grantmaking rescue field for 20 years, I can vouch that Special Horses has emerged as one of the top in what they do to help.

I have personally known management for many years, and am always impressed with how Special Horses makes a positive difference with equines in need. As founder of North American Thoroughbred Society I always do what I can to support and assist Special Horses.

Special Horses is unique in that it supports horse rescues across the United States. Through on-line auctions, funds are raised that support rescues in time of critical need. The social media presence is light-hearted but never fails to relate the urgency and importance of supporting local rescues.

Special Horses works tirelessly to help equines in need, providing countless fundraising campaigns for reputable horse rescues. They have aligned themselves with organizations who work for equine protections, always engageing their network to get the word out on action alerts, and always with a kind word. Their efforts and fortitude are endless. They have earned great respect within equine communities from coast to coast.

They are wonderful. They help so many horses out. But it takes money and time. But the volunteers with special Horses give so much to keep it going. Thank you too a bunch of Volunteers at Special Horses.

This is a very active nonprofit. It does a lot of good for horses. I would definitely recommend it.

Special Horses is a rare bird (pony). It doesn't try to 'ransome' animals at feedlots, nor has 'crisis mode' fundraisers. Instead, SH helps fund LEGITIMATE, established rescues with a proven track record with emergency assistance, education and ongoing needs all around the country. SH is and always has been TOTALLY transparent with funds and has a PLATINUM rating with Guidestar.

This is a wonderful organization that raises money for legitimate horse rescues. It is well managed and contributes a lot to horses in need.

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.

Special Horses is a wonderful organization. Highly professional. Very competent. I participated and bought a wonderful sweatshirt, helping a horse rescue. Win win!

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!

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.

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.

Nice people who realy care about the horses. Respond fast and fix any isues with auctions. :)

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.

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 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.

A good, honest, diligent group who obviously cares strongly about what they do.

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.

Always ready to help horses, this organization does not hesitate!

Diligent with tracking donations and communicating with donors, this organization also holds funds for emergency donations to other rescues in need.

They are a wonderful equine advocate that does so much for other equine charities and 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.

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.

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!

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.

i have a rescue myself , these people are the "REAL DEAL"

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!

Excellent and the money really goes to the horse rescues. Thank you Special Horses!

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

Honest, dedicated and supportive of horses and rescues in need!

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!

Great organization that is dedicated to helping horse rescues through fundraising.

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 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 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 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.
