UP WE GO, DOWN WE GO...

Just a quick note to see if anyone can help out with the curent DOWN WE GO. The only stable funding source for the equine assisted therapy program has been terminated. Although it was only $450 a month it allowed us to pay the rent on the field the horses are in $150 and pay Jose Luis' a small salary $300.

We have come up with a 3 solid ways to raise the money:
1. Look for private clients for the equine assisted therapy program.
2. Use the ponies for birthday parties.
3. Start trail riding on the weekends for tourists.
4. Submit a grant to the Global Children´s Fund.
So we are working on these although numbers 1 to 3 call for a bit of capital in the way of money for advertising and shoes for the horses.

The current crisis makes finishing up the barley sprouting project even more crucial as it will reduce the costs of feeding the horses by 44%.  To date we have raised $970! Thank you all who have donated.

To finish we need to raise $996 more but most crucial is the $400 for the watering system so the volunteers coming at the end of March can set that up. 


If you can give anything $5 or $10 or $20 it would be put to good use!!!
