People Helping Horses, known as "Where The Heart Meets the Horse Rescue Home" is asking for donations to help horses in their rescue program. According to information on their website, this non-profit equine rescue can use donations of nearly anything horse-oriented and the need is critical:

"The more donations we receive, the more horses we can rescue. It’s that simple.  $250. That’s how much it costs per month to provide the very basic care of hay, grain, vaccinations, deworming, and farrier visits for one of our horses.

Add to that barn help, overhead, property, payroll, and business taxes? The number increases significantly. And for those horses who come to us with injuries that require specific veterinary care? It costs hundreds of dollars more each month.

As a nonprofit, People Helping Horses relies on the tax-deductible monetary and in-kind donations of our donors for everything. From horse-related products such as dewormer and blankets to facility needs including fencing, wheelbarrows, and shovels, we simply cannot do the amazing work that we do without your help.

Please consider making a tax-deductible monetary or in-kind donation today. Also, be sure to sign up for our enewsletter where we regularly update our immediate seasonal needs. Make a donation.

We are always happy to accept the following items:

  • lead ropes
  • halters
  • blankets
  • fly sheets/masks
  • fly spray
  • liniment/wound cream
  • Dewormer
  • Grooming supplies, including shampoo and conditioner, detangler, brushes, and shedding blades
  • Gift certificates to tack stores, hardware stores

In-Kind Donations
