We are getting calls regularly about horses needing help. It is very difficult to say no but we have lots of expenses such as hay, feed and vet care for the horses that we currently have and cannot take in any more without help from people like you. Please consider giving yourself a wonderful gift and send a donation to support these deserving animals. Each horse has expenses between $50 and $100 a month. What could be better than knowing that you helped one of these sweet horses (and ponies) have a happy, safe life!
