Help us fund our major projects
In 2023, thanks to an incredibly generous angel donor, HNR was able to move into a permanent location all our own. This means we can now save even more horses. But in order to care for and train these horses, we must make a few important improvements to the property. Read about our plans below!
-
One horse eats at least 5 bales of hay per week. Therefore, to feed as many horses as our property can accommodate, we must purchase and store 4,000 bales per year. Currently, we store hay in every nook and cranny we can find (like our volunteers’ houses!). Having a 30 ft x 40 ft dedicated hay barn will allow us to store all the hay we need on property!
If you would like to donate to this effort specifically, please contact us! Keep an eye on this page for our barn building progress and barn plans.
-
Being located in Northern Michigan means at least half the year has potentially rough weather. Snow, rain, and dark evenings make it difficult for our trainers to work with our horses. The more our trainers work with our horses, the faster we can get them ready to find their forever homes! A covered arena would allow us to train and ride horses all year, and would allow us to rehabilitate them and rehome them more quickly.
Sponsor a paddock!
For a tax deductible gift of $1,500 you can sponsor one of our 11 paddocks. Your donation will feed and care for the horses in your paddock for that year. In return you will have your or your business’s name on the paddock and you will be featured on our socials and website. Also, you will receive a special donation certificate to hang in your home or business, and biannual updates about the horses you helped save!
