’No hoof, no horse’…horses must be able to stand and move around. If they lie down for more than 4 hours it will disrupt the blood flow to their vital organs, as well as damage their muscles, nerves and lungs.
It's imperative horses have their feet trimmed every few weeks to keep them up and moving, balanced, comfortable and prevent damage to their internal organs, legs and foot structure.
$50.00 will provide one of the horses their very important foot care for 4 weeks.
Hay Chix Hay Nets slow down the horses consumption of hay. This is better for their digestive system and overall health. And it prevents the horses from wasting any hay as they eat. The nets are a great investment and save money in the long run.

We are installing track systems for the horses. Track systems encourage a horse to move much more than wide open spaces.
Exercise is extremely important for horses. You can feed them the best nutrition but without proper exercise, their body and mind will suffer.
We are using metal fence panels for the track systems. Each panel costs $150.00 and every 2 panels will give the horses 12 more feet of track to exercise.
You can make a difference for these horses.
Give them the gift of love, care and quality of life. THANK YOU!
