Groom & Room Project: More Space, More Care, More LOVE FUNDRAISER.
Raised $446 out of $797 needed for stage 1 of this project.
We are holding a fundraiser! Please see the detailed information below on each stage. The projects will be done in stages as funds come in. I have created a spread sheet with the break down of all cost for all supplies that are needed for each stage. I will try to post it in comments. This fundraiser covers supplies only as we have the wonderful team of Al & Brian that will build it all! We would like to start stage 1 saturday.
Our first priority - stage 1 is Roy & his boys new area as he needs additional space. His current space of a stall with a run out is to small for him. This will also allow us to have another stall to keep the current seniors in that are suffering from the heat under the fans and misters. Unfortunately, Roy thinks he is a 17H stallion so we cannot keep him in a pasture or even an adjoining pasture with other horses. Roy is a sanctuary mini here at SSRR. His previous mother was promised that he has a forever spot here. His previous mom is a very special soul to all of us here at SSRR. The total for supplies to build this area is $797.34.
Our 2nd priority - stage 2 is to build out an additional stall in the barn. We purchased and built our barn for our personal horses as we did not have the rescue at the time. We left a 12x12 area open to store barn supplies. We now need to build it out as we do not have enough stalls. We need to get the seniors and ones suffering from the heat in a stall under fans and misters. The total for supplies to build this area is $458.38
Our 3rd priority - stage 3 is to create covered grooming bays. Again, we designed all areas initially for personal horses which we had 2. Currently, we only have (2) spots available for grooming. We need more as we grow for a few reasons. There is always someone waiting for another person to finish up doctoring, grooming or bathing a horse. The current ones we have are for more experienced horses and horse people. We want to create covered grooming stations that will make it safer for the horses and volunteers. Also, we would like to open the rescue to barn days, grooming days and more that will assist in funding the rescue. The total for supplies to build this area is $1467.11
The miscellaneous listed below is to install a gate at the front of our barn so the horses can go in the yard area safely. We are also adding a gate from our front pasture to the arena so it is safer to lead horses in and out. This total is $217.72
The total for all stages is 2940.55. I wish that Al and I could cover this and all rescue cost however we just cannot cover this or all of it. Yes, it is being installed on our property however it is for the rescue. This is a very hard slow time of year. It is hot, adoptions are down, donations are down and all of this did affect me a few weeks ago. I wondered how in the world we can continue like this however instead of the stinking thinking, we are determined to continue to work hard for the horses in need and have faith in each of you! I am determined to show the difference that we DO make for the horses locally and beyond. We have a great team here at SSRR which we are very grateful for. Please reach out if you ever have any questions or suggestions. Thank you
