WE DID IT!!! Huffington Post Nonprofit for March, 2012

Huffington Post Nonprofit of the Month Hacienda de los Milagros

We can always use your help and assistance:

Our feed costs have increased 60% That means it now costs us $14,100 per month to feed (just feed), which is $479 per day based on a 30 day month. And we have every reason to believe that it will go up another 25% this winter, as supplies get very low. Farmers switched to other crops this year hoping to increase their income. Drought in Texas as well as other parts of the country has also significantly reduced the amount of grass hay available, and foreign buyers want US hay as well.

Our May 14, 2011 Trail Ride was a great success. THANKS EVERYONE. See a video about the ride here Trail Ride on Youtube

Oneness

We have to use temporary labor at times to do projects and clean pens. The barn stalls(both barns) need to be cleaned daily, and that takes a younger person and at least 5 hours of labor a day. Every day. That means paying, or getting strong volunteers. Our total operating budget for 2011 was $346050, or $28,840 per month. Please do what you can, and help us spread the word. The residents cannot help with this part, only we can. Thank you!

New Barn

Our new barn is fully operational, and all the horses and mules at HDLM now have covered stalls so they can eat dry food and sleep/stand in a dry stall at night, from dinner time through breakfast. In fact, all the residents have access to shelter. Burros have community shelters. Bless you, anonymous donor!! And thank you Steve and Rudy for all your volunteer labor.

Thank You on behalf of the residents!

Horses Looking for a New Home

We have a few wonderful horses looking to be a companion only horse, with another horse, or for just humans who want a loving companion horse. They are healthy, just not going to be rideable.

The following horses at HDLM are available for a new home. If you are interested, or know anyone interested, in perhaps giving one of these incredible beings their lifetime home, please call Wynne at (928) 533-0684.

Fontana He is a 12 or so year old TB gelding. Great companion horse, not rideable. Issues with right front leg. Top picture on left.

Stella, a early teen large sorrel quarter type mare. Like her food, and has some apparent navicular issue in front that would make it painful for her to be ridden, and does not cause her issues to just hang out as a companion.

If you are interested, or know anyone interested, in perhaps giving one of these incredible beings their lifetime home, please email Wynne at Wynne@hdlmsanctuary.org or call Wynne at (928) 533-0684.
