Beyond the Seasons

❄️ Beyond the Seasons: Support Our Horses' Year-Round Rescue

As the year comes to a close, the cold weather and holiday cheer don't mean a break for our rescue horses.

💖 Rescue is Not Seasonal

At Ride-A-Rescue, we are working hard all year long to help rehabilitate our horses. It’s a 365-day commitment that requires specific, immediate, and high-quality care. When the ground freezes, the work doesn't stop—it intensifies.

While the world slows down for the holidays, our days are filled with heavy blankets, extra high-calorie feed, and breaking ice in water troughs. We are currently caring for 68 horses, and their needs for healing and health are constant. Right now, we are looking toward the new year and the vital medical and maintenance care required to keep them thriving.

🎯 Why Your Cash Donation Makes the Greatest Impact

We are often asked if people can donate physical items. While we appreciate the thought, monetary donations are the most effective way to help ensure our 68 horses get exactly what they need:

• Professional Services: You can’t "buy" a vet exam or a farrier visit at a store—these require direct funding for our professional partners.

• Specific Sizes: A donated blanket only helps if it fits; cash allows us to buy the exact size and weight a specific horse needs.

• Durability: We need commercial-grade equipment (like specialized water hoses) that won’t crack in sub-zero temperatures.

• Tax Benefits: A financial gift before December 31st provides you with a verifiable 2025 tax write-off.

🎁 Your Year-End Impact Tiers

Every dollar goes directly to the 68 horses in our care:

• $25: Covers a Fecal Float (essential diagnostic testing for proper deworming).

• $60: Purchases a Quality Water Hose to ensure hydration in the fields.

• $80: Provides Annual Core Vaccines to protect against disease.

• $100: Buys a Custom-Fit Winter Blanket (ranging from $60–$150).

• $150: Funds an Equine Dental Float (vital for nutrition and comfort).

• $250: Covers a full Annual Wellness Exam and check-up for one horse.

We’re not slowing down this winter. Will you help us keep the mission moving?
