RANCH OPERATIONS/REHABILITATION/SANCTUARY: OUR RANCH IS LOCATED ON 128 ACRES WITH CLOSE TO 100 HORSES IN RESCUE AT ANY TIME. WE DO NOT HAVE PASTURE, SO WE FEED AND GRAIN OUR HORSES YEAR- ROUND, WITH FEED COST ALONE TOTALING 221,550 THIS YEAR. THE INCREASE IN OUR ONSITE HORSE CAPACITY TO 100, AS WELL AS RISING PRICES AND WAGES, HAVE ALSO INCREASED ALL OTHER REHABILITATION AND CARE-RELATED EXPENSES, SUCH AS RANCH PAYROLL, VETERINARY AND DENTAL CARE, FARRIER, WORMING, AND VACCINATIONS. WE UTILIZE A SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM TO HELP SUPPORT OUR HORSE CARE EXPENSES AND WERE ABLE TO RAISE 77,433 IN 2023 THANKS TO 51 SPONSORS, SUPPORTING 44 OF THE HORSES.

TRAINING AND ADOPTION PROGRAM: TRAINING IS A VITAL COMPONENT IN FINDING OUR HORSES GOOD NEW HOMES AND STAYING IN THEM. A WELL-TRAINED AND WELL-MANNERED HORSE HAS VALUE AND THE BEST CHANCE OF REMAINING IN A GOOD HOME FOR LIFE. FINDING GOOD TRAINERS, WHO HAVE THE EXPERIENCE TO WORK WITH THE KIND OF HORSES WE RECEIVE, MANY OF THEM UNHANDLED UPON ARRIVAL, IS PARAMOUNT. IN 2023, WE WERE ABLE TO ADOPT 43 HORSES INTO GOOD HOMES. THIS IN TURN ALLOWED US TO ADMIT 69 HORSES INTO RESCUE. THE MORE HORSES WE ADOPT, THE MORE WE CAN RESCUE. WE UTILIZE ONSITE AND OFFSITE TRAINERS, WITH AN ONSITE GROUNDWORK AND UNDER SADDLE TRAINER. TRAINING COSTS AMOUNTED TO ROUGHLY 110,000, OFFSET BY ADOPTION INCOME OF CLOSE TO 51,000.

VOLUNTEER PROGRAM: OUR AWARD-WINNING VOLUNTEER PROGRAM HAD 118 ACTIVE VOLUNTEERS IN 2023 WHO DONATED 6,784 HOURS OF THEIR TIME. OUR VOLUNTEERS BRING A VARIETY OF SKILLS THAT GREATLY BENEFIT OUR ORGANIZATION, AND WE CONSIDER OUR VOLUNTEER PROGRAM ONE OF OUR GREATEST STRENGTHS. WE ARE ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS IN THE HSUS FOREVER FOUNDATION'S PLAN4PROGRESS TRAINING PROGRAM, WHICH ALLOWS OUR VOLUNTEERS TO LEARN HORSE HANDLING SKILLS ONSITE, AS WELL AS THROUGH A VIDEO TRAINING PROGRAM. THEIR ADVANCED HORSE HANDLING SKILLS, IN TURN, HELP OUR HORSES WHO CAN RECEIVE MUCH MORE SOCIALIZATION AND GROUNDWORK TRAINING THROUGH OUR VOLUNTEERS.
