Help Horses Get Needed Water Source

The Center for America's First Horse, Inc., a 501c3 non-profit organization and home to twenty horses is experiencing a critical water system failure!

The current water source and system has once again failed us.   Daily, volunteers are hauling about 250 gallons of water for 19 horses from almost 1/4  of a mile away. With winter setting in soon here in the northeast, we must move quickly to raise funds for this project. Our goal is to raise $15,000 to install a drilled well for dependable year round use. 

The local well  company has estimated the cost for the well installation to be $9,631 based on depths of neighboring wells.  There is an additional estimate of $5,900 to bury and insulate water lines, run power and  restore the driveway after installing the water system. Kindly, the company has offered to donate a small portion of the cost of installation and labor. 

   The Center for America's First Horse, Inc., located in Johnson, Vermont is home to eighteen rare Spanish mustangs and the retired equine movie star named Oscar a.k.a Hidalgo.  Since 2010 we have  provided year round life enriching, and often therapuetic expriences for people of all ages through our hands on natural horsemanship programs. 

Our commitment to the mission of The Center, to being a steward of the land, and to the children and adults of the community whose lives are enriched by what we do is as great today as it was five years ago when The Center first opened its doors.  We were set on a course to develop The Center into what it has become; a place of learning, peace and sanctuary for both horses and humans. 

Without your help getting water for our herd we cannot continue our important work. If you believe as we do that our dedication to making a positive difference in the lives of horses, children and adults is of great value please consider a donation of any size to help us reach our goal!

With much gratitude and appreciation,
