Granlee Ranch: where horses come home.
What Granlee Ranch does
Granlee Ranch is a horse sanctuary on the North Texas prairie, just south of Dallas. We take in horses who have run out of chances — the old, the overworked, the ones nobody came back for — and give them the rest of their lives.
Nothing is asked of them here. No riding, no breeding, no earning their keep. Just good hay, clean water, the farrier every six weeks, a vet when they need one, and people who know their names.
Sponsors are what make that promise possible. Fifteen dollars a month helps feed a horse — and every month you hear how they're doing, from the person who fed them.
How it works
Choose your horse
Read their stories and pick the one who tugs at you. Can't choose? Sponsor the whole herd and we'll share it around.
Give $15 a month
That's a month of hay. It comes out on the same day each month, and you can pause or stop whenever life asks you to.
Hear from them
Every month: one photo of your horse and a few honest lines from whoever fed them that morning.
Horse Highlight
Meet Meche
Meche is an older broodmare. She spent her whole life carrying foals for other people. Jennifer met her three years ago while volunteering, and never stopped thinking about her.
Join the Team
Sponsors are the team behind every horse here. Most people start at $15 a month. Every tier buys the same things — hay, vet visits, hoof trims — and the bigger the gift, the more of your horse's life comes back to you.

Double a sponsor
A matching donor pledges up to a set amount each month.
Every new monthly sponsorship is matched dollar for dollar out of that pledge until it's used up — so a new sponsor at $15 a month puts $30 of hay in front of a horse.
Nobody is matching this month yet. The first pledge starts the doubling.
