Winter & ongoing Monthly needs

Can you help?  Many horses are in need!

As winter is now here there is so much that still needs done!  Each of our "horse ports" need closed in for winter, water lines need checked along with electric & heaters for outdoor watering needs.
Hay is still very much in need.

The property at IHR Central and IHR Southwest belongs to Animal Protection Coalition, Inc.

While donations do come in and fundraisers are going on, they do not add up to what it will cost to feed the many horses that are counting on us / you!  Estimated costs for just 2 of our divisions (11/06/08) are listed above.  This does not include veterinary expenses, or daily fuel for tractors, etc.  Many of our facilities are run from the directors home and their paycheck - We can not do this alone-we need your help!

Doing without one Starbucks coffee each week would amount to $20.00 a month
Skipping one Friday or Saturday out to dinner once a month could add up to $60 or more

We realize everyone is doing without to try to make ends meet - maybe you can think of a way to raise funds for the rescue.  Please contact us with ideas!

Does your company do any matching donations?  Can you send out an e-mail to your friends?  There are rescues all over the country that are closing, which makes for less places for horses in need to go.

IHR has already started a waiting list for those wanting to donate horses.  We must be sure we have room for those horses that are in need if/when law enforcement or animal control has animals that must be confiscated and housed.

IHR Southwest is wanting to take part of the property and turn it into a wild horse refuge.  Many may remember that we took in 63 wild mustangs from the 500+ Slick Gardner seizure in California several years ago.  We still have 9 of these that are not highly adoptable and we would love to allow them to live out their lives in a sanctuary setting.  T-posts & fencing has been obtained, but shelter, automatic waterer and fence charger are needed for this project before we can transfer the horses from Frankfort to Owensville.

As everyone knows, hay & grain is a big part of caring for the horses.  We have hay suppliers that are willing to sell us hay & grain at good prices, but need the funds to purchase it for the horses.  Every dollar goes a long way!

Thank you to everyone for their donations!  God Bless you!

We need YOU, now more than ever.

Thank you just never seems enough!
