Summer gives us a break from the labor intensive work of the winter months. In winter, the horses living here at our sanctuary need hay (forage) in front of them 24/7. When summer rolls around, we rely on green pastures to provide the herd with what they need. And not buying or giving hay also gives us time to rebuild the sanctuary funding. We simply could not do what we do without funding. Unfortunately, our area is in a difficult drought. Heavy traffic areas in the pastures have turned to dirt, and the pastures themselves are crunchy. Today, I had to buy a load of hay. A big financial hit. And I'm going to have to buy more. Proud Spirit has been in operation for over 30 years. We have intervened on behalf of 100s of at-risk horses and dozens of other animals in need. We could not, and can not, function without help. We are a 501c3 nonprofit organization with an exemplary international reputation. If you follow me and the sanctuary, you know I very, very rarely ask for help. But, as mentioned, we can not survive without help. If you are able, if you believe in what we're doing here... consider a tax deductible contribution. The link is in the comments.
