Just got back home and got little man all settled in! Surgery went great it was $1,500 total. He will need x rays every OTHER week which is a little savings bandaging every 2 days and then a second surgery to remove the hardware in about 3-4 months once the legs are almost straight! We are very grateful to Dr.Zacharias and everyone who donated and shared to make this happen! There are many on going expenses for this guy but he now has his best chance for a sound and healthy future! Thank you Emily Green for coming along with me on this trip so it wasn't as lonely!

Little man has been dropped off for surgery tomorrow! Thank you to everyone who donated towards his surgery and make it possible! The $450 for his x rays last week were not part of his estimate and were an extra expense, he will also be needing xrays weekly to check his progress and once the legs are almost straight he will return for a 2nd surgery to remove all the hardware which is estimated at $600. We can continue to use any help to this guy through everything while we continue to have our other expenses, we are needing hay again next month and we have the farrier coming friday to do 14 of the sanctuary horses so ANYTHING is appreciated!

First, we want to sincerely thank everyone who attended our Barn Dance Fundraiser and supported both our sanctuary and the horses in our care. Your support means more to us than words can express.

We also want to apologize for how the evening unfolded. Unfortunately, the weather was completely out of our control. We had been closely monitoring the forecast and had contingency plans in mind if severe weather was expected, but no storms were predicted, making the situation a surprise to us as well.

We would also like to apologize for the issues with the raffle. Some ticket numbers were mixed up, resulting in a few items being drawn incorrectly. We take full responsibility for that mistake and are already working on ways to make things right.

Despite the challenges, we are grateful to share that the event raised approximately $800 after covering the expenses required to host it. While this was less than we had hoped due to the weather, every dollar will help support the horses in our care.

We are already planning to bring the Barn Dance back next year. To help avoid weather-related issues, we have secured an indoor venue, and as a thank-you for your patience and support, everyone who attended this year's event will be eligible for half-price tickets next year.

We still have significant expenses coming up next month, including a large hay purchase, so we will be working on additional fundraising opportunities in the near future.

Thank you again for your understanding, support, and dedication to our mission. We are incredibly grateful for each and every one of you and look forward to continuing to serve both our horses and our community.
