We Are Fundraising For The Barn. We Hope You Will Help.
Why do we do fundraisers?
The cost of everything has gone up. Horse feed, hay and bedding is no exception. Our expenses have gone up just like yours!
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, the rest of it goes to their daily care.
For example, Secret, our one 20 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 36 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!

In addition to direct horse expenses, fundraising dollars go towards the barn. We also are continually trying to make upgrades to the barn for our horses and clients to enjoy.
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!
So you see, we want to do lots of great things! There are lots of ways to help!
