FAQ
"What are my donation dollars used for?"
100% of all donations go directly into the rescue. Donations may be used
for a variety of things, depending on the current needs at the rescue. Every single dollar
is put to good use for things like supplies, vet or farrier visits, feeding
requirements, medical supplies, building materials or transport. When
sending any type of donation, monetary or other-wise, you may specify where you
would like your donation used.

"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.
