Horse Charities: Ways to Help

Horse charities have one common goal. It is to save, care and give home to the abandon, mistreated and neglected horses. Of course, this comes with a price because horse caring can be expensive. These animals require a spacious living environment like barn. An open field with access to fresh water and forage like grass or hay is really ideal considering that horses need to exercise. 

In addition to this, other caring necessity includes grooming, feeding, hoof care, shoeing and veterinary care like vaccinations. Hence, it needs funds to support to cater all these facilities and caring necessities but such charitable organizations rely only in the generosity of the people. 

If you are keen to support the cause, here are eight ways to do it. 

Monetary assistance.

Ideally this is the best way to help any charitable institutions. They know more which areas are lacking financial support and with your monetary support, they can allocate it to the right and most needed requirement. It can be for vaccinations or for paying the utility bills. 

Horse adoption.

If you are fortunate to have a barn or vast farm land, then you can opt for adopting a horse. Fees are normally minimal and processing is usually is easy. Oftentimes they offer retiring horse for adoption. 

Present.

Do you have niece or nephew who wants to have a horse? Rather than looking around for pricey breed, why not make your pick in one of those horses in charities. You will not only make your love ones happy but you are supporting too these organizations. 

Volunteer.

Do you have the knack to care horses? Then maybe you can offer for free your expertise. If you do not have this capacity, don’t worry because volunteers are always welcome. Also, there will never be run out of tasks so a helping hand is always great. 

If you have kids, this can be a good opportunity too to expose them to horses and to instill them the virtue of volunteerism. 

Word of mouth.

Well, not all horse charities have the funds to layout fancy website with all the related information or organize fundraisings. Remember that such event requires marketing to ensure its success and it means additional funds. 

Help them save those funds by spreading the words circle of friends, family and acquaintances. 

Donate horse gears.

If you have the resources to buy new horse gears for donation, then good! If you do not have, then any old stuff will work. It is better to give out those horse gears to horse charities where they can make good use of it rather than allowing it to collect dust in your storage room. 

Support their activities.

Sometimes horse charities require support not only during fundraising gala dinners but on special occasions too. Christmas is an opportunity to raise funds by selling Christmas cards or goodies. Maybe they are selling some farm products and the profits go to the charitable institution. Why not patronize their products? 

Also, spreading such event news to your friends and colleagues will mean more potential revenue. 

There are really many ways to help if you have the desire. Remember that helping is not limited only to donating money. It can be your time, talent, attention and willingness to support. Any effort can make a difference.
