Help the Horses Find Homes
Presently, thirty-nine horses reside at the sanctuary. Many of them have completed their
rehabilitation and are waiting to find homes. The drought of 2007 has made placing them in good homes more difficult
than ever before. Therefore we are asking you to help us expand our efforts.
You can help the horses find homes by printing the placement flier on the link above and asking
businesses in your area to post it on their bulletin boards, by their cash registers, or in their windows.
Thank you for doing your part in helping the horses!
Two horses found new homes in September thanks to the efforts of HPS
supporters!!
Thanks to All for Making Project Day a Success!
Thank you to everyone that came out and helped on Project Day. We were given the challenge of getting
20 people out to work for the day and the chance to earn $2500 by doing so. Well, more than 50 adults and children participated
in Project Day and we were able to complete our list of projects for the day plus a little more!
Both barns were swept clean and barn #1 was pressure washed, the fields were mowed, the flower beds weeded,
and all the fence lines had the weeds cleared out. The pumphouse ceiling was painted. The large metal feedbin was
moved into the new barn next to the feed room so we no longer have to cart heavy feed bags across the farm!
The remains of ghost town were removed, the front porch cleared off, and water tubs were painted. We
also cleared many of the rocks out of the pasture so that we can mow the fields now without damaging our equipment.
We cleared away the brush and rubble behind the old tackroom and now have a beautiful view of the lake from
the new barn.
Another big thank you to volunteers who were not able to attend Project Day but came earlier
in the week to paint and install new shelves and cabinetry in the tack and feed rooms, organized the tackroom, and cleaned
the feed room.

Very Important Message About the Drought of 2007
Last year we faced a serious hay shortage because of the worst drought on record in NC. In 2008, we
are still feeling the effects. Cost of hay has doubled since last year and we have more horses than ever before.
Hay costs have risen from $900 per month to over $2000.
