 Animal Sponsorship
Part of the Sun Valley Indian School experience for our children is learning about proper care of our resident animals. These are all commonly found at their home reservations. However, often the children do not have the opportunity to learn in a structured environment about their needs for shelter, food, and care. Here, we provide an encouraging setting where they can experience a classroom curriculum coupled with hands on workshops with the horses, chickens, llamas, and sheep. It is a blessing that God has brought these creatures to us, but they do come with expenses. Please consider sponsoring one of our animals so that their needs can be met such as for food, vaccines, bedding, shearing, hoof care, and other preventative and sick care.
BLONDIE
Hi! I am 21 years old and love living here at SVIS. I am a very blessed horse to live here with all these great people and my best friend Jr. I love to graze and I am very curious. I love getting an apple or carrot once in a while. I have special boots I have to wear because one of my front legs is just a little bit shorter than the other. With that in mind it is very important for my people to keep my hooves trimmed and healthy so my boots fit properly.
JR
Hello there! I’m Jr. I’m sort of the head horse (or at least I like to think so). I’m a little pushy. I like to rub my head against my people’s shoulders. It’s like a shove sometimes. I think it’s great when we get visits from our people and our kids. I like to follow Blondie around. God gave us each other for company and to show the kids about horse care.
WONKY
Hi! I am Wonky. I am 3 years old. My friend, Evander, and I are some of the newest animals in the Sun Valley family. Southwest Llama Rescue donated Evander and me to the school. We have lots of room to run and romp in the fields here. One of my very favorite treats is sweet feed. We also have a job to do. We are the guardians for the sheep. When the sheep arrive, we will be ready.
CHICKENS
We are so awesome that we not only are here to help teach the children, but we also produce some of the eggs to feed them. Our people take our eggs to the livestock auction to sell and it helps to feed us. However, it doesn’t buy us all our feed or needs. We are all Buff Orpingtons and were born in April 2011. Sometimes we get scraps from the kitchen like yummy bread, corn, chips, we will eat just about anything.
EVANDER
My name is Evander. I came to the school with Wonky from Southwest Llama Rescue. I had been saved from a home that deprived me of enough food by them. So basically, when it comes to food now . . . I am pushy . . . I LOVE food! I love the horses and Wonky . . . but when it comes to food I am the boss. The holes in my ears are from my previous home as well. They had tags in my ears. I love it here at SVIS. They treat me very special and I have lots of room to roam and friends to play with.
