Reason #4 to donate to Mississippi Horses – Capital investment. Capital investments involve improvements and maintenance such as the ongoing need for dirt work, building new hay storage, feed sheds, laying new water pipe and electrical work. As soon as we think we have enough storage we realize we need to put up more hay next year or we need a second feed shed in the back pasture. In rescue it’s a constant revolving door with new horses coming in and healthy rehabilitated horses leaving for their new homes. We need lots of individual paddocks with shelter, quarantine areas and places to keep stallions and pregnant mares. The social order of horses is very important and those in a weakened state of health are too vulnerable to be placed with the main herd. We try to put as few horses together in a pasture that we can to avoid the constant battle over pecking order. All of these things are important for any rescue operation. Thankfully we have all the land we’ll ever need but to maintain and keep it safe for large number of horses is an ongoing challenge and expense. Remember the best way to help a rescue is to adopt, if you cant adopt then foster, if you cant foster then donate. Whether you donate to us or your local animal shelter, please realize that every bit counts, even $5 a month goes a long way in helping us to provide for animals in need.
