Spoiled Acres Rescue
Spoiled acres rescue operates on donations. We are in the process of applying for our 501(c)3 status. Until that status has been received
, which can take several months, we can not even receive grants. Currently the only money that is going to save these animals is out of our own pockets. We also have children
to take care of, so we are not able to donate as much as we would like.
With donations, we are able to keep our efforts moving forward. We are currently building a facility for the foals so that they can be
kept separated from the other horses until they are old enough to be merged in. The start up costs for building this facility are going to be in excess of $11,000.00.
.
This will be used as well as a product called
G.U.T. by Uckele. Foals also need
Dannon yogurt with every feeding. Then there is the hay cost. Hay in our
area general sells for $2.50 a square bale. We have been working to lower our costs of hay by actually working on some of the farms to bale the hay. This has lowered our costs
a little, but we are then taken away from the horses while we are baling hay, so there is a down fall to that also. We only saved $0.50 a bale.
Babies also require the same things that adult horses do. We have to purchase wormers, vaccinations, supplements and tack. We also have
the costs of farriers and vets. Training will be done by our volunteers, so we will save a little with that costs. We are trying to keep adoption fees low so that these
babies will be quickly moved to a good home. Without donations, these fees will have to increase.
