Fill the Loft with Hay
Help us feed the 22 horses who call our sanctuary home. After last December’s supplier shortage, our amazing community rallied together — and we’re calling on you again!
Our new (and reliable!) supplier is great, but hay costs have risen $5–$7 per bale. This season we’re expecting to need over 1,400 bales at $22–$25 each. With hay shortages expected and prices potentially rising, we’ve already placed our order — and need your help paying for it when it arrives before August.
Please consider donating to help us keep our promise to the horses who depend on us for their “best rest of their life.”
Buy a Bale of Hay for a Horse
