Treasure

I am searching for someone to sponsor my mare. She is 27 years old and I adopted her 4 years ago from First Light Farm Equine Shelter. I am in a bad way financially. I can surrender her back to the shelter, but she is my first horse and I'd rather be able to keep her. She really can't be ridden much anymore so my goal is to make sure she is comfortable and feels safe.

In return for sponsorship, I could offer pet or barn-sitting services, depending on where you are located. I could also do pet portraits, or offer copy-editing or writing services.

I am hoping to have her board and grain covered each month; current board is $400 per month, not including grain, which is around $50-$60 a month. I am looking for a cheaper place to board her. She is also on supplements and medication for typical equine age-related afflictions (arthritis, a heart murmur, and Cushings' Disease).

If I achieve the goal of a year's sponsorship, I could either refund any money beyond that or put it in to a general fund for continued care, if the donator wishes.

If I have to surrender her back to the shelter, her care will be paid for by sponsorhip as well (I just won't be the one responsible for raising the funds), and I may not be able to see her again.

She is a special horse....although she has had a few people in her life who understood her and took the time with her that she needed, some of the experiences she's had in life have resulted in her being very distrustful and fearful of people and things. She's developed a lot of trust in me and we have come a long way! I want to be able to continue to give her a good retirement home.

THANK YOU to anyone who can donate!!!
