🐴💚 DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT. Keep our herd happy and healthy!

Our 2026 Hay & Feed Drive is here! 🌾 https://t.co/MsnwOvL0iR

Did you know our herd consumes 12,000 pounds of hay every single day and approximately 3,750 pounds of grain every year for each horse? That’s a whole lot of hay and feed to keep our horses happy, healthy, and thriving! 💚

Hay and feed are essential to providing the dignified, individualized lifetime care every horse in our herd deserves. And this year, your generosity can go twice as far!

Every dollar donated to our 2026 Hay & Feed Drive will be matched dollar for dollar, up to $100,000! 🐎

Will you donate today and DOUBLE your impact? 💚 https://t.co/MsnwOvL0iR
