What can I do to help?
Horse rescue is as costly as it is rewarding. There are many steps in the process and many costs in each step. Our first step is getting these horses out of neglect and onto our farm. To do this, we must be able to pay for veterinarian costs, which will include deworming ($15/horse) and vaccinations ($20 per vaccine/horse). Before the horses can come to us, they must be dewormed and vaccinated to keep our other horses healthy. These horses have very limited time left. They can only stay on the land until the end of January, however, we are literally buying time by paying off the landlord until we can raise the funds to take them. We are also currently supplying feed for all three horses ($18/bale) and will continue to need support in our feed costs when they come to us. There is the cost of the farrier work that needs to be done on all three horses. Idalena likely needs injections to help with her lameness, which is very costly. We hesitate to make our best guess at Idalena's condition and eagerly hope to get a veterinarian to examine her as soon as possible to determine what is causing her pain and to get her out of pain immediately. (When we hit our first $1000 mark we will bring Idalena onto our farm and begin the lengthy process of helping her to heal!) With your help and time, we will put in the work to rehabilitate these three horses to the best of their abilities and find them loving forever homes.
All proceeds earned on this campaign will go directly toward rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming these three horses. The donations range from low to high because we know firsthand the impact of just one drop in the horse trough. Anybody, anywhere can give something. If you can’t afford to donate, then please support us by sharing this campaign, spreading the word, liking our Facebook page, and loving horses. We have come up with some amazing perks donated by our volunteers. Unique images of our horses in the form of postcards, cards, photos, art prints, calendars, posters, and one beautiful large framed print.
I have set this campaign to end on Valentine’s Day. Let’s give these horses the gift of love!
