Rescue Lindsey

Donation protected
I'm Katie Neligan, an equine-assisted coach  and Lindsey is a thoroughbred mare, healer and teacher. You can hear our story by watching the video above.

Together we are asking for your help! On 11/29/15 I rescued Lindsey because the next day she would have been euthanized. I brought her to Saffyre Sanctuary  where she can receive the nutrition, love and support she needs for her second chance. 

It's been said it takes a village to raise a child and it will take a community to save this horse. Lindsey is now part of a rescue herd of horses that have all been brought-back to thriving after being at death's door. She will be the Sanctuary's next "sucess story" with your help! 

You get to play a critical role in this rescue and with your financial assistance Lindsey will receive the following:

- A safe and comfortable stall and bed
- The best possible diet so she can have her digestive issues and laminitis healed for good
- Medical care from a team of equine professionals 
- Care-giving from a volunteer community who will help clean her stall, exercise, feed ,and love her

Care Costs:
$200/month for her home/bed 
$180/month for Timothy hay 
$120/month for healing supplements/nutrition 
$100/month for shavings/bedding 

Medical Costs:
$180  for barefoot trimming of her hooves/year
$260  for vet check-ups and any necessary medical work/year (i.e. this could be a lot higher but it's still TBD right now)
$175  for dentist/year

I've already spent $392 on Lindsey just for her immediate rescue needs. Unfortunately, I am not in a place financially where I can cover all of her needs and neither is the Sanctuary. Luckily, I am borrowing many of the supplies she'll need such as fly mask/blanket/etc. so we'll save money there. 

100% of your donation is tax deductible and you will receive a donation receipt from the non-profit Saffyre Sanctuary.

Every little bit you donate helps and for every $600 you donate (this completely covers her monthly needs), you'll receive a sponsorship perk below.

With your donation you are paying forward the healing for her and also for all of the lives of the people she will touch as a co-coach in equine-assisted coaching/healing/learning. As soon as she is a bit healthier, we will be doing lots of that work together at Saffyre. 

Thank you from the depths of Lindsey's horse heart (it's 10X the physical size of yours so that's some powerful love) and from me. 

In deep gratitude and awe at the power of love and support to heal and transform humans and animals,
Kate

The two of us being in our joy, not taking life too seriously
