Horse
Donations
Riders and polo players nationwide choose to donate their horses or ponies to the Garrison Forest Riding and Polo Programs.
We offer an amazing home to horses and ponies. Garrison Forest horses and polo ponies receive intensive care with daily feeding, turnout, a structured fitness schedule, and all required veterinary care. Horses and ponies routinely get visits from Lower School students on daily walks who come and feed them treats! Horses and ponies are generally used for all divisions: Lower School through our competitive Upper School equestrians. If you're interested in donating your horse/pony to one of the GFS Equestrian Programs, please continue reading.
