Recent Intakes:
Due to the large number of surrender requests we get and the influx of horses we are helping, we sometimes have to limit intakes (as much as we can). If you are considering adopting or fostering, now is the time! If you can donate to help the horses in our care it is very much appreciated. If you are struggling and have to surrender your horse you can still reach out to us as we will do our best to help, or to network to provide assistance.

Every month we have expenses such as vet ($5,000), hay ($20,000 average in winter),
farrier ($1,800 per month), feed for the seniors ($5,000),
plus maintenance costs such as fuel, equipment, repairs & maintenance, etc. so it really adds up!

Hay for the horses is our single largest expense.
If you have good quality horse hay to donate, please contact us and we can arrange to have it picked up. We use hay throughout the year as we have a number of horses that cannot go out on pasture in the summer. Tax receipts can be issued for all hay donations. Help us put a dent in our biggest expense!

Help us care for the senior horses.
We have many older and special needs horses that need custom feeding & daily medication (in 2022, over 80 of our horses are aged 20 years or more, of which at least 10 are aged 30 or more!). You can donate feed for the horses through our feed supplier, Country Junction Feeds, arrange it through another supplier, or bring it to us directly. We appreciate all donations and can issue charitable tax receipts!

For info on adopting and to see the horses currently residing at the Rescue, look under 'The Animals' tab. Wondering what you can do to help the horses or get involved? Look under the 'How To Help' tab for more information. One of the best ways to help is though a monthly sponsorship of one of the horses or other animals at the Rescue. |
