Back at Shiloh and our New Hay Fund...

Shiloh's biggest expense by far is Hay, and with Hay prices on the rise, we have created a new Hay Fund. To save money, we feed the large bales which cost approx $260-$280 per ton. With 120 horses currently in the rescue, we feed two large bales per day, which is equal to one ton per day. Subtracting the expenses of boarded and privately owned horses, which are NEVER paid for using donated money, the rescue horses hay costs approx $200.00 per day. Now people can become Hay Sponsors and can directly help us with this expense. While any amount to this Fund is appreciated I have broken it down into suggested increments:

One full day's hay donation (two large bales) is $200.00
Three quarters is $150.00
One half of a day's hay (one large bale) is $100.00
One quarter is $50.00


Looking for a gift for a birthday, Holiday or other big event for a horse crazy loved one? A donation to the Hay Fund is a perfect way to a difference to the rescue! Just click on the banner or link above to find out more information and to make a donation.
