      In Kind Donations

      Horse and Farm Equipment

      We welcome donations of used tack and horse equipment, and other items that are needed around the farm. Items that cannot be used directly by our program may be sold, with proceeds benefiting the organization. The sale of excess donated tack currently raises over $3000/year to benefit programming, so these donations are much appreciated. Click here for more information on in kind donations.
