We Are Fundraising For The Barn. We Hope You Will Help.

,Why do we do fundraisers?
We recognize that affording riding lessons can be challenging for people. We fundraise so that we do not have to raise our prices. Some of our fundraising goes towards the medical expenses or special needs of our instructional horses. For example, Secret, our one 14 year old lesson horse has asthma. He needs 2 inhalers. He gets a broncodilator and a steroid inhaler twice a day. The cost of his inhalers can be up to $600 a month. He is a great little horse. He is very affectionate and he has a lot to offer our students. But with out his inhalers he can't breathe. Another of our lesson horses, Whisper, is 32 years old. She can no longer eat hay because she can't chew it anymore. Like many older horses, Whisper has lost several of her teeth. That means she can't chew normal hay. So instead, she needs soaked hay cubes, hay pellets and extra beet pulp. So comparatively, if she eats 20 pounds of normal hay a day that would cost the barn about $4 a day. Twenty pounds of hay substitutes cost $20 a day. Whisper is very healthy other wise. She likes her job as a lesson horse and is very good at it! She is a happy, funny horse with a great quality of life. We hope to help Whisper keep going for as long as we can! |
We also are continually trying to make upgrades to the barn for our horses and clients to enjoy. We would like to to build a heated viewing room in the indoor arena so you can stay warm while watching lessons. If you are riding, you are warm. If you are watching or waiting, you get cold in the indoor. Wouldn't it be nice to have a nice warm viewing room?
We would love to put mirrors in the indoor. Mirrors will allow our riders to see what they are doing while in the saddle. This allows for immediate feedback during your riding time!
We also would like to purchase a piece of equipment that will allow riders to video the lessons and riding time without the need for an additional person to man the video camera. This device will automatically follow the rider, zoom in and out automatically and focus.
This enables riders to watch their riding lesson after the fact to see what they are physically doing in the saddle while hearing what the instructor was telling them at the time and then to see the results when they make a change.
So you see, we want to do lots of great things! There are lots of ways to help!
