Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (4)
  1. $41,521 spent. Supplies - in addition to regular maintenance, capital improvements provide increased safety and security for volunteers, staff, and horses. Property maintenance and medical supplies provide a clean environment and better treatment options for barn management.
  2. $21,933 spent. Vet and Farrier Care - horses that have chronic and acute health conditions require treatment and monitoring. Periodic health assessments will prevent subsequent expensive treatments; however, at times, emergency veterinary services are required to address critical cases.
  3. $35,153 spent. Feed and Training - grain, supplements, and quality hay provide management of weight, tone, and overall health of all equines at the facility. Horses in good physical condition are trained to provide more attractive prospects for potential adoptions. Training of staff and leadership is an important component of the high standards of operational and financial transparency in the organization.
  4. $15,538 spent. Other - auto and equipment expenses related to equine transport and supplies procurement, and volunteer event costs represent the remaining portion of the program service expenses.
