"Title Sponsor" Program: THIS TS PROGRAM IS FULL.
Please consider joining the "Adopt a Pony" program. Thank you
The "Title Sponsor" Program is a program that is put in place for the highest level of support, a commitment of $2500 (or more) per year. This hero level is dedicated to celebrating your annual gift for your chosen horse.
This not a "free for all". This is an elite program with a system of qualification in place. Are you a friend of our Board? Are you a trusted business in the community? If so, you may qualify!
Have you ever heard of "owning a share of a race horse"? Well, this program is similar but with no winnings, LOL! BLP came up with this highest level of donation for a selective group of people/companies that want to be more involved, and even have a "say" when it comes to lifechanging decions of their chosen horse. YES, Blue Line Ponies has a financial goal. Their wish is to have one "Title Sponsor" per rescued baby, they currently have 7 horses and one donkey in their care. The impact that amount of guaranteed financial support for the lifetime of one precious life would be a game changer!
After you have spoken with Shelley Hill, the President of Blue Line Ponies, Inc, you can donate at least $2500 to Blue Line Ponies to become a part of this incredible program.

"Title Sponsor" Program:
- You guarantee an annual gift of $2500 (or more) to be donated on the same day each year for the "life" of your lucky chosen "Title Sponsor" horse. Remember, this is a commitment every single year with no exception. BLP is relying on you!
- BLPs will only allow one "Title Sponsor" per retired service horse.
- Pick the baby that you will sponsor for their lifetime and get a name of your choice added to their existing name. Hence, "Title Sponsor". Example: If you want to be a "Title Sponsor" of Liberty Ann, and your last name is Smith, we can rename her Liberty Ann Smith. If you want to be a "Title Sponsor" to Isra Rose and your first name is Mary, we can rename her Mary's Isra Rose. You get the idea!
- YES! The "Adopt a Pony" program will still be in place. This is a different style program to encourage other people to get involved and adopt a share of their favorite horse. The more the merrier!
- Remember, BLP is a retirement home to give retired career horses a soft place to land. They are not here to "prolong" their lives in the event of a terminal illness or the like. If there comes a time that your "Title" horse needs some extra care that could be a financial burden to BLP, they promise to communicate with you. BLP will discuss your "Title" horse's needs, give you an opportunity to be in the decision process if applicable and then give you the opportunity to donate the funds needed for a big medical procedure, daily prescriptions, a physical therapist on location, etc. Please understand that BLP loves and respects each beautiful baby in their care and will always do what is best for them. They take their trust very serious and will make the hard decisions....even through the tears.
- They encourage you to get involved from an armchair like post photos, share stories that resonate with you, and spread the word for others to get involved.
- Meet and Greet! Schedule a visit to come visit your "Title" horse! You can even groom, bathe, and give them treats!
- Want to get more involved? Just reach out!
- Each year you will receive a special gift from your pony!!! It could be special holiday images, pictures painted by your pony (hoof and/or tail painting), ornaments, cards w envelopes, Post It note pads, hat, calendar, mug, etc!
- From time to time you will receive a LIVE VIDEO (usually Facebook messenger video) call on location so you can see and connect with your "Title" horse. If you are not available, BLP will make a special video JUST FOR YOU, post on YouTube (under unlisted) and send you the link. You can watch and share as you like.
- They are not done yet! They will also have a beautiful 8 inch black metal art sign custom engraved as a recognition for entering into the annual "Title Sponsor" Program. You get to pick the name on the plaque. Blue Line Ponies has a 12 foot gate that is the PERFECT place to hang your personalized metal art on location. It is front and center and they could not be prouder to showcase.
We are so proud to introduce our annual "Title Sponsors" and which horse has captured their heart!! THANK YOU "TITLE SPONSORS" FOR GOING OVER AND BEYOND TO HELP US CARE FOR OUR PONIES!
In December of 2025 Pat and Ken Hendry became annual "Title Sponsors" to the beautiful Liberty Ann.
I am happy to introduce Pat and Ken of Georgia. They are the last TS for BLP. They complete this top tier level of "helping" with becoming a TS to our sweet shy Chocolate Palomino, Liberty Ann. They are adding "Miss" to her name to complete the benefits of being a TS. Sooooo, meet Miss Liberty Ann. LOVE IT!
There are many reasons that they choose Blue Line Ponies to receive their generosity. They know each member of the Board very well, they align with BLP's mission statement, they love animals, and they respect career horses and their human partners.
There is another reason they wanted to help, Ken had a beautiful Palomino in his "younger days". Meet Kimachi (left corner of first paragraph), he looks similar to Liberty Ann.
To The Hendry's, "You are genuine and mindful with your blessings. You show passion in your decisions and are positive people to be around. We are thankful for your friendship"

I am happy to introduce our beautiful "Title Sponsor" family. As a "Title Sponsor" they get to add some special names to the Blue Line Pony that they chose to sponsor for the lifetime of that baby. They chose three....
Introducing:
I usually ask our Title Sponsors to write a paragraph for this page focusing on WHY they became involved with Blue Line Ponies but NOT this time. This time I am going to tell you WHY they did it.
I have know the Sumners for 15 ish years. In a sense, we have "grown up together" since they have been a "staple" in our lives through Fusion Fitness & Mixed Martial Arts, The Complete Combatant, Racheal's Rest and now Blue Line Ponies. They are generous with their time, resources and gifts when they believe in the mission statement, the people behind it, and the good it does for their community. We are blessed that Blue Line Ponies alligns with their beliefs.
To the Sumners, “Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.” — Mark Twain
