The driveway, which is near the top of the property, is made of lime rock - as is the main road by the rescue.  When it rains the driveway washes out and deep, unsafe ruts are formed - ruts that end up going through main paddocks.  We have had trucks pulling trailers, with horses loaded, get stuck in the driveway.  They sometimes park in the road to load and unload and this is dangerous - the road is very narrow and other vehicles can't pass.  After rains we try to fix this as best we can with the tractor but it is always a temporary fix.  We have talked to the county about this problem but the bottom line is that the driveway is our issue and the only way to fix it is to put in a better driveway with a culvert.  There simply are never any funds for this because of the high costs of feed, hay, vet bills, overhead costs, etc.

We desperately need gutters at the barn/workshop building and on 3 shelters in order to prevent erosion and make it safer for horses and humans. 

We rehabilitate and care for neglected, abused, surrendered, and abandoned horses.  Often, horses have been injured, have not received needed medical care, some have been starved, abused and mistreated and no longer trust humans.  We work hard to return each horse to its optimum health (mentally and physically).  When the horse is ready, we provide necessary training and conditioning.  When a horse is ready for a new home, our goal is to place the horse in a carefully screened, loving forever home where it will be asked to do no more than what the horse is comfortable doing. 

It takes a tremendous amount of time, work, energy, and money to help the horses and to keep the rescue operating.  Monetary donations are appreciated but we can also use donations of items listed above.  All monetary donations go directly to the feed and care of the horses - no amount is too small!  All donations are tax deductible.
