How You Can Help

There are several ways you can help elder horses who have outlived the good intentions of previous owners:

Volunteer

 

Look HERE to see if you have "Things We Can Use."

  

Send TREES the Proof of Purchase seals from Triple Crown, Reliance and Legends feed bags.   Depending on formula, we can redeem them for 10 -25 cents each.

Offer a caring home to a horse who has served his owners long and well, but is no longer considered "valuable" enough to warrant further investment by those owners.

 

Help to educate owners struggling with their Equine Elders' changing needs.

 

Participate, with your Elders, in local shows, parades, and other events to demonstrate that a horse's abilities cannot be judged based solely on chronological age.

 

Donate gently used tack which we can sell through local consignment shops to raise funds.

 

Donate gently used household items for Yard Sales.
