"Don't you make enough money from adoption fees to support your rescue?"
Simply put - no.   The adoption fees never, ever recoup the entire amount of money that is spent on a particular equine while they're at the rescue.  At the very best, adoption fees recover a small amount of money that can, in turn, be used towards the rehab of the next rescue. 

"Do you use rescue materials or funds for your own animals?"
Absolutely not.  I may use my own money, materials or supplies for a rescue animal but never vice versa.  Items or funds donated towards rescue efforts are used strictly for that purpose.
