After a very slow summer for the ranch as far as program fees and trail ride revenue, we have considerable financial hardship on our organization and with the rising cost of hay and feed, we are concerned about our ability to properly care for all of the animals that we currently have in our care. (Our feed bill alone runs over $3,500/month)  We are reaching out to all of our friends for help.  Please read the following sponsor and membership opportunities that are available and see if there is something that you may be able to do.  And please keep in mind that we are a 501c3 organization and all donations are Tax-Deductible.
