Update: We still have many horse available for adoption, including one horse from Jones Riding Academy! (Duke) (12-3-11)
We are looking forward to a new and better year here at WHINNY. We have so many plans to help improve quality of life for our horses now and for those in the future . Of course it takes money, and that means fundraising , fundraising, fundraising. We'll be scheduling our fundraisers soon and will post them here and on our website as well as the projects we'll be raising money for.
The economy sucks.... The price we have to pay for a gallon of gas is insane. Is it going to get any better? Probably not in our lifetime. So we all have to make even bigger sacrifices . What's first? Horse feed or hay? Should we eliminate our vet or our farrier. Wormers or bedding ? We can't improve their quality of life, if we take away their quality of care. Please help .
The tin on the main barn is repaired and ready for winter. Thank you Board Member Mark Downs for all your hard work so that our hay and horses will stay dry.
We haul water from May to January. Our truck is always on the road. The price of gas, the cost of the water, and taking time away from other important tasks.... It's time for a change. For those of you who just turn on a tap, you can't comprehend being without water. We have a chance to get water here, but we need your support. Please donate to our water project.
The run-in shed we built in 2009 in the blind-horse pasture is great. It is a blessing for the horses. They love it and so do we. But, we now have a need for an additional run-in shed in the main pasture. With the lumber that Brent Redfern donated , Johnny D is going to build the additional run-in shelter that the horses can use to get out of the weather. But we still need donations of plywood, metal roofing, gutters, any type of hardware, quick-crete, and more lumber. Thank you Brent and thank you Johnny D! This is a great start, and we hope to be ready to start building very soon!

Volunteer:
It is hard work running any rescue. The list of chores are endless but with the help of good volunteers no one has to suffer the burden of doing it all by themselves. No job is too small or any less important than another. They all have to be done. Even if you volunteer one hour a day, that's an hour spent doing something worthwhile for a horse in need. Make one day out of the week a family project day and volunteer the whole family to help clean stalls, wash water buckets or groom horses. Contact WHINNY Horse Rescue and schedule a time. mary@whinnyhorserescue.org
Donate:
If sponsoring and/or volunteering are not something you want to participate in , you can still help our horses by donating cash to their care or donating products toward their care.
New or used product donations are always welcome. We "recycle" your no longer used barn supplies by putting them to good use in our barn. We never have enough halters, lead ropes, buckets, and feed pans. Do you have any unused garden hose? We're always replacing ours. What about salt brick holders or old wheelbarrows & feed carts standing around or stored somewhere that we could put to good use. That old saying, " One man's junk is another man's treasure." Well it's true! We treasure every product donation .
