A Bale for Benjamin!

Hi Everyone, Benjamin here!

Mommy Theresa is busy taking care of all my horsey friends, so she asked if I could come on here to help with our hay needs. We still need to raise $$529 which is creating much worry for Mommy.

Won’t you please help by sponsoring a large half pasture bale @ $180 per bale?

Your donation is really going to a very good cause and will be so very much appreciated by everyone here at the farm. Just click on the ‘Donate’ button below and please remember that no donation is ever too small.

Pretty please and thank you!

Love,
Benjamin

P.S. I hope Mommy thinks I am a very good boy!

BRRRRR! We’re freezing in Florida!

Hello from freezing Florida! And it’s is going to be another really cold one today – the winds here make it pretty bad, but at least it’s not raining. Last night it dipped down to 19°. Thankfully all the horses were warm and snuggly in their blankets. Many thanks to Jenny, Avi, and Cindy for helping to blanket the 30+ horses yesterday!

Did you know horses burn 30-35% more calories to stay warm when the cold temps arrive? This means they need more hay!

We need to make a run as soon as possible for four large compressed 1/2 pasture bales for the horses in our four southern paddocks so the horses will have them for tonight. Each bale weighs approximately 500 pounds. This will cost at least $525 to procure these four bales. Can anyone help with this need? We have enough of the regular size bales to last us for a couple more days.

Wanted: Full Bellies & Happy Feet

I would like to thank each and every one of you for your generosity, love, prayers and support for little Hope. She was unable to come home on Monday as she was being transferred to Medicine to have x-rays taken of her lungs. I will provide an update once I hear from UF regarding the radiographic findings.

In the meantime, life must go on at the rescue and the needs of the other members of our beloved little herd must be addressed. With the grass now dormant, our hay needs have increased exponentially and of course, hooficures must be routinely done every four to six weeks.

Our farrier expenses this week will be approximately $725. Our hay needs this week include four large bales of compressed hay and two bales of alfalfa for a total cost of $550.

Alfalfa is a necessary component of the UC Davis re-feeding program that we have instituted for Aries, Raz and Nicky, to ensure their overall health and well-being.

If anyone would like to help with these needs, it would be so greatly appreciated and no amount is ever considered as being too small. Donations can be made easily by clicking the button below, through Facebook or via PayPal. If donating via PayPal, please select the tab ‘Send Money to Friends or Family’ and no fees will be deducted from your contribution. Please also note that your donation is for ‘Hay and/or Happy Feet.’

Thank you all, so very much!

Sincerely,
Theresa

It’s Me, CaryLou!


Hey Everyone! It’s me, CaryLou!

Mommy Theresa is very busy taking care of Baby Hope so she has asked me to help with this week’s Hay Fundraiser for all the ‘Velvet Nosers.’ We are in need of one large compressed bale of hay ($107) and one ton of three string orchard hay ($640) for a total of $747 so if anyone would like to help with this need, we would be forever grateful!

Contributions can be made via various secure means here on our WEBSITE. Please note in the ‘Comments’ section that your donation is for ‘Hay.’ All contributions are so greatly appreciated, and please be assured, that no amount is ever too small.

Thank you!

Love and Horsey Kisses,
CaryLou

Peace of Mind

Hi Everyone,

Theresa was at the doctor most of the afternoon as she is experiencing some issues and she will most undoubtedly, be ‘off the grid’ for several days. She asked that I post a fundraiser on her behalf for our weekly hay and farrier needs, so hopefully, funds can be raised quickly, which will truly ease her mind.

In order to get through the week, we need four bales of peanut hay ($64) for Mo who is doing wonderfully and has already gained sixty pounds! The minis will need five bales of coastal hay ($40), a number of the big horses need three big compressed bales of orchard hay ($300), and the remainder of the herd need a ton of three string orchard bales ($610), for a total of $1,014. In addition, several horses are scheduled for their hooficures next week which will cost an additional $125, so the combined amount for both hay and farrier needs is $1,139.

We do have some good news, however, as a wonderful friend and supporter has just come forth to offer a MATCH GAME, whereby, all donations up to $400 will be matched!

If you would like to participate in the Match Game, you may do so by making a one-time tax-deductible donation, or sign up to make an automatic monthly recurring donation (which you can cancel at any time) via our secure WEBPAGE. You also have the option of dedicating your donation in Honor or Memory of someone. Another way to donate is via Network for Good or JustGiving – links which can be found on our ‘DONATE’ page together with our snail mail address. You can also donate via PAYPAL and if you select the tab, ‘Send Money to Friends or Family,’ no fees will be deducted from your contribution. Please note that your contribution is for the ‘Match Game.’ Please be assured that all donations are greatly appreciated and no amount is ever too small. If you’re not in a position to donate at this time, we truly understand, but you can still help by sharing out this message via social media!

Please keep Theresa in your prayers and thank you all, for your love and support!

Warmly,
Jeanne

Match Game for Hay in Anticipation of Michael!

We spent much of yesterday preparing for the arrival of Hurricane Michael but thankfully, we did not receive the brunt of the storm. We had a few periods of high rain, heavy winds and some erosion.

Please keep those who were affected by the ravages of the hurricane, in your thoughts and prayers.

We do need to make a hay run, however, as we only have enough hay to last for two days.

We need a ton of 3 string orchard hay bales at $600 a ton and three 1/2 pasture bales at $300 each, which will go under the large shelters where the horses will stay during the heavy rains.
[clear]

Lastly, we are thrilled to announce that six amazing friends and supporters have joined together to offer a MATCH GAME to assist with our hay needs. All donations up to $1,200 will be matched dollar for dollar. There is currently $590 still available in Matching funds.

If you would like to participate in the Match Game, there are many ways in which to contribute. You may forward your contribution via our PayPal address: bhfer@earthlink.net, via the DONATE page on our website or via PayPal Me. If donating via PayPal, please designate your donation to ‘HAY.’ If you select the tab, ‘Send Money to Friends or Family,’ no fees will be deducted from your contribution. All donations are tax deductible and no amount is ever too small. Thank you, all, so very much!
