Sponsor a Horse

Sponsor-A-Horse Program

We all love Camp Evergreen and there’s a special place in many of our hearts for the horses we rode at camp. They filled our days with adventures, giggles, challenges, and triumphs. These horses have taught us more about ourselves and what we can accomplish. They have been our team mates, confidants, and trusted companions. Now, in this time of uncertainty we’re asking that you consider giving back to the horses that have impacted your lives.

We’ve created the Sponsor-A-Horse program so that you can continue to interact with our herd and bring a little part of camp home with you, and we can continue to provide quality care for our horses during this season. While the sponsorship is symbolic and the horse will remain at Camp Evergreen, the love that you feel for these horses and the impact that your sponsorship will have on them is lasting.

There are three different tiers in which you can choose to sponsor a horse on a monthly basis and some fun sponsor gifts for you depending on what level you choose:

  • $25/Month – A key chain with your horse’s name on it
  • $75/Month – A fun mug
  • $100/Month – You’ll receive the key chain and mug from the previous levels as well as the opportunity to come out and spend the day with your horse

Every sponsor will also receive a high quality photo of your horse along with a small biography, and quarterly updates on how your horse is doing throughout the year.

Your sponsorship fee will go towards providing:

  • Hay and Other Feed
  • Medical Supplies as Needed
  • Farrier Services (hoof trimming)
  • Barn and Field Maintenance
  • Tack and Equipment

Thank you so much for continuing to support Camp Evergreen through this season, and for showing your love to all of our staff members (horses included)! Your contributions mean that we can continue to care for our horses and make sure that they’re ready for guests and campers when the time comes. Our horses love all of you and can’t wait to get out and take you on more adventures!

Check out our herd below to find the horse you want to sponsor!

Ace

Quarter Horse

Birthday: 2004

Color: Black

Sex: Gelding

Before Ace came to Camp Evergreen he worked on a cattle ranch and still loves to herd any stray cows that might make their way on site. He is one of our most well-rounded horses as he enjoys herding, trail rides, bush whacking, jumping, gymkhana, and doing drill patterns. You’ll find Ace at the front of the trail ride because he likes to be one of the first horses to see what’s going on around him. He’s a horse that anyone can ride not matter your experience or how fast you want to go which makes him deeply loved by kids and adults alike.

Axle

Whata Little Leo

Registered Quarter Horse

Birthday: 2013

Color: Bay

Sex: Gelding

Before Axle came to Camp Evergreen he was living in central Alberta on a cattle ranch. He is probably one of our most cuddly horses and you’ll always find him ready to snuggle or try to eat your sweater strings. He’s also one of our horses that knows how to smile and he’ll do just about anything for a treat. Sometimes Axle is a little too smart for his own good and he’ll untie himself and the horses around him while waiting in his stall but he never wanders far away from his friends. Axle loves to go fast and since he’s still young he’s a very sensitive horse to ride but he always takes care of his riders.

Duck

Quarter Horse

Birthday: 2007

Color: Dark Bay

Sex: Gelding

Duck is a gentle giant who loves to cuddle with kids and adults alike and got his name because his neck is long like a duck's. He is one of our taller horses but he is as calm and lazy as can be, and he would rather eat grass then walk anywhere. You’ll always find Duck at the back of the trail ride because he’s so slow and we don’t want to create a traffic jam waiting for him to plod along the trail.

Duke

Quarter Horse

Birthday: 2010

Color: Sorrel

Sex: Gelding

Duke loves to cuddle, so much so that he’ll boop you with his head when you walk past his stall to get you to stop and pet him. While he may be grumpy around other horses, he loves to be around people and will often follow you around the field. Duke’s large ears make him look like a mule when you’re riding him but he’s 100% a horse.

Elmer

Quarter Horse

Birthday: 2004

Color: Black

Sex: Gelding

Elmer was born at here at camp and has spent his whole life loving kids and taking them for rides. He likes to flip his head around when you’re riding because he thinks he’s a rock star, but he’ll always take care of you while you’re riding him. Elmer is also one of our bumpiest horses to trot on and it often feels like you’re riding a jack hammer, but that makes him a great horse to learn how to post your trot on.

Hannah

Miss Cookie Pete

Registered Quarter Horse

Birthday: 2000

Color: Palomino

Sex: Mare

Hannah is one of the resident momma horses here at Camp Evergreen. Both of her daughters, Sassy and Liberty, were born here at camp and have grown up alongside their mom into great kids horses. Hannah knows her job and knows how to do it well. While she may get scared of tarps or blowing grass every now and then she’s always the most gentle horse with scared or nervous riders. She also loves to go for a soak and spa day in the deep parts of the creek.

Jed

Elfondo’s Trip to Vegas

Registered Morgan Horse

Birthday: 2002

Color: Palomino

Sex: Gelding

Jed and Cruise are half brothers, but unfortunately Cruise got most of the good looks. Even though Jed is small, he is a spunky horse that loves to bother the other horses so that no one thinks he’s weak just because he’s short. He is also one of our smoothest horses which makes him amazing to bareback on. Jed loves to run fast and is often one of the horses at the front of the pack when we herd the horses. He is also an escape artist and will often rub his bridle and halter off so that he can leave his stall and grab some snacks between trail rides.

Liberty

CE Scooter Bug

Registered Quarter Horse

Birthday: 2007

Color: Sorrel

Sex: Mare

Liberty was born here at Camp Evergreen and has spent her life loving on everyone she meets. She is a very anxious horse and can get scared of anything that changes in the world around her, but she tries to be brave and work through her fears. She loves to hang out with Puzzles the Donkey and will turn around to wait for him when we herd the horses to their field for the night.

Navajo

Grade Quarter Horse

Birthday: 2006

Color: Dark Brown

Sex: Mare

Navajo is our smallest horse and is often mistaken for a baby horse. While she is the size of a pony, she is one of our smartest and fastest horses. Navajo loves to run around and go zooming through fields as fast as she can. She is also a very sensitive horse so you don’t need to ride her much pressure and can steer almost entirely with your seat and legs.

Nugget

Golden Nugget

Registered Standardbred

Birthday: 2006

Color: Light Bay

Sex: Gelding

Nugget was a Sulky racer when he was younger but has since worked in the mountains, in parades, and is now a camp horse. He loves to follow you around the field and will boop you with his nose when you stop paying attention to him. Nugget loves to love on people, and even knows a couple of tricks to show off for treats.

Puzzles

Catalan Donkey

Birthday: 2011

Color: Black

Sex: Gelding

Puzzles loves to hang out with our Clydesdales and can almost always be found standing between them or under one of their necks. His main purpose at camp is to keep the wild animals away which he does by braying at them, but he also does that to alert us that he’s out of food. Puzzles mostly stays in the the field, but sometimes we take him out for a ride where he ends up choosing the path with the most trees on it. He also loves snacks and will eat just about anything you give to him.

Ranger

Quarter Horse

Birthday: 2007

Color: Blue Roan

Sex: Gelding

Ranger used to work with cows before he came to Camp Evergreen, and now he loves to go for long walks through the woods. He’s a super smart and sensitive horse which makes him tons of fun to work with and ride. Ranger is also very flexible which makes him excellent for doing gymkhana patterns and riding through the forest. He’s a very affectionate horse and will never turn down a good scratch or hug.

Sasha

Paint/Quarter Horse

Birthday: 2003

Color: Dark Bay

Sex: Mare

Sasha was born here at Camp Evergreen and is half Quarter Horse from her dad and half Paint Horse from her mother Jocee. Sasha can be feisty when you first meet her, but once she gets to know you she is super sweet. She loves to boss the other horses around both in the field and on the trail to let them know not to mess with her. Sasha loves to run gymkhana patterns and show off her skills.

Sassy

CE Miss Skipa Doc

Registered Quarter Horse

Birthday: 2004

Color: Palomino

Sex: Mare

Sassy was born here at Camp Evergreen and has spent her whole life taking care of kids and adults. She is a little claustrophobic in her stall and will sometimes back out of it quickly to get into more open spaces. Sassy is a super sweet horse (and not as sassy as her name suggests) that prefers to walk as slowly as possible instead of going anywhere fast. When she’s in her stall she’ll stand as far forward as she can so that she can get pets and love from anyone who walks past her.

Seamus

Quarter Horse

Birthday: 2003

Color: Chestnut

Sex: Gelding

Seamus is one of our horses that would rather stand still than go anywhere quickly. He loves to walk super slow which makes him great for nervous or first time riders. Seamus also has the most impressive mane and a forelock that we often have to braid back so that he could see through it.

Soren

Rocky Mountain Horse

Birthday: 2000

Color: Chocolate Brown

Sex: Gelding

Soren is one of our smoothest horses which makes him amazing to trot on no matter what level of rider you are. He is also half blind in his left eye because he got his head stuck in a gate several years ago, however this doesn’t impede his ability to do his job. Soren loves to take people on trail rides and knows how to do his job very well.

Tex

Foxtail’s Texas Tango

Registered Morgan Horse

Birthday: 2000

Color: Liver Chestnut

Sex: Gelding

Tex is actually a distant cousin of Cruise and Jed, and loves to run just as much as they do. He is a very smart horse which makes him great for both trail and arena riding. Sometimes he gets a little too excited when you ask him to go faster and he’ll jump into whichever gait you asked for. He also loves to do trail jumping, and is always one of the horses at the front of the pack when we herd the horses.

Wesley

Pines Blazing Silver

Registered Quarter Horse

Birthday: 2003

Color: Sorrel

Sex: Gelding

Wesley is one of our slowest horses and will often walk slower than a turtle through molasses in the middle of August. Surprisingly though, he loves to jump and will perk up when we take him into the arena or do some trail jumping. He’s great to ride if you want a horse that will carry you from place to place slowly and smoothly. You’ll find him at the back part of the trail ride with the other slower horses so they don’t slow down the entire ride.

Willow

Quarter Horse

Birthday: 2010

Color: Dark Bay

Sex: Mare

Willow is our most fit horse because she is basically all muscle. While she may be smaller she is full of pep when you ride her. She’s great for both beginners and advanced riders because she knows so many skills but will only do them when you ask her. She doesn’t love going fast, but when you ask her she’ll do just about anything for you.

Wolf

Wolfs Parson

Registered Quarter Horse

Birthday: 2004

Color: Red Dun

Sex: Gelding

Wolf lives up to his name in that he will yell every time a horse leaves their stall when he’s working. Despite his slight separation anxiety, Wolf is a great horse for anyone to ride because he knows his job so well. He is more of a sprinter than a long distance runner which makes him great for drill patterns or gymkhana patterns. He’s always at the front of his stall so that he can say hello to everyone who walk past and show them some love.

Wyoming

Quarter Horse

Birthday: 2003

Color: Sorrel

Sex: Gelding

Wyoming is one of our tallest horses and he loves to use his long legs to go for runs. Most of the time Wyoming prefers to walk slowly at the back of the trail ride where he can enjoy the scenery without another horse bothering him from behind. He may be tall but he’s super sweet when you ride or work with him.
