PASTURE HOMES
If you are in the Helvetia area in Oregon and have an empty 5+ acre pasture, we’d love to talk with you about putting 2 needy horses in it. We’ll take care of fence improvements and all of the horse care. We do need easy access to water and a place to put feeders and possibly a small shelter.
FOSTER HOMES
If you are horse-savvy with suitable facilities in the Portland area and would be willing to take a foster horse, we will pay for feed, farrier and veterinary care.
HORSE CARE
If you love horses and would like to volunteer to groom or feed horses, we’d love your help.
DONATIONS
A healthy home is just the first step in caring for a horse. Thoroughbreds, which is the breed of almost all our horses, need grain and supplements every day (~$130/month), hoof care every 6 weeks (~$85) and regular veterinary and dental care (dentistry ~$250). Many of our horses are older so they are even needier. Every dollar you share goes directly to caring for the horses. We have received 501c3 charity status from the IRS so your donations are fully tax deductible.
