2016 Fundraising and Community Outreach Events

Our goal during these various community outreach functions is not only to raise monetary support, but most importantly, to educate the public.  We discuss horse care, basic needs, expenses, abuse and neglect.  Our presence has opened many eyes and brought a wonderful group of individuals together.  All of us are doing our part to change the lives of these magnificent creatures and ultimately preparing our upcoming generation with the knowledge and skill to more appropriately make horse ownership decisions.

If you would like to become a part of this change and touch the lives of our beloved rescues, just click the contact button at the top of your screen, list your area of interest in the comments section and one of our board members will get back with you on details to get you started!
