Water for Wild Horses- Fill The Bucket!
Drought across the west continues to challenge resources at the sanctuary and has not spared the hundreds of horses at Return to Freedom.
Return To Freedom provides refuge and care for almost 400 wild horses including 30 burros who have been captured from their ranges.
In February 2015 our water table dropped and all wells stopped producing. Return to Freedom began trucking in water costing $3200.00 a week - this is not sustainable, and will cost the sanctuary $89,000.00 over the next 7 months until rain falls again. We cannot let that happen and we have a solution but need help.
While a nearby ranch has an overflowing spring and they have offered to GIVE the sanctuary 1500 gallons of water per day which will supply 1/3 of our daily water needs to keep the water troughs full and our costs down!
BUT-we do need to continue to buy water ( we use about 5000-6000 gallons of water per day-
All donations go directly into our Water For Wild Horses account.
We have not been idle- We have;
- Relocated 41 of our horses, and will be moving 30 more to a satellite generously made available by RTF supporters
- Created grey water systems at the sanctuary
- Completed grants for water conservation projects and catchment systems which will allow us to contain rainwater in 2016...
- Purchased a 3000 gallon water tank to collect overflowing springwater at a nearby ranch
- Launched a YOUCARING Campaign to purchase a portable water tank on trailer to be able to bring 1500 gallons a day to the ranch ourselves!
But-we need your help !
We have a small team who make sure the horses are fed and cared for each and every day. We want to thank our donors for keeping the troughs full- we need your help to reach beyond our loyal donors. With many people giving alittle we can achieve a lot!
Please help with any size gift you can give a share with others!
