Giving Tuesday - Every Act of Generosity Counts

GIVING TUESDAY is a day for people across the country to give back to their communities. CASEY'S SAFE HAVEN is hoping that our friends and supporters will remember the equine at our barn. Here are just a few costs that give you an idea of what care for our sweet horses, ponies and donkey cost.  

• Each equine need their hooves to be trimmed every 6-8 weeks by our farriers and this costs an average of $50 for each equine.
  
• Each equine needs their teeth floated once a year by our veterinarian. This costs $150 per equine.
  
• Shavings cost $7.99 per bag.  A week of shavings costs about $600.
  
• On average, we use about 65 bales of hay a week to feed. Each bale costs about $7.50 per bale. Our weekly hay cost is about $500.
  
• A 50-pound bag of grain costs about $32.00. We use about 17 bags of grain a week so feeding grain to our equine costs about $544 per week.
  
• All of our rescues use supplements for their special needs and this costs us about $2400 a year. These supplements help with aches, pains, joint relief and inflammation. A $200 donation would help all our ponies, donkeys and horses with their special needs for a whole month.
  
• Full care of a pony for a month, including feed, grain, shavings, supplements, and farrier and veterinarian care is about $200.
  
• Full care of a horse for a month, including feed, grain, shavings, supplements, and farrier and veterinarian care is about $450.  

EVERY DONATION will make a difference in the lives of our rescues. Thank you for your generosity on 2022's GIVING TUESDAY! 

Equine monthly sponsors are one of the most important lifelines for our rescued equines. Some of our special needs equines may live out the rest of their days in the sanctuary part of Casey’s. Being a monthly equine sponsor helps pay for the supplements, medicine, farrier, and veterinary bills for these special needs equines. 

Equine Sponsorships are fully tax deductible and can be cancelled at any time.
We have three types of Equine Sponsorships. Although the monthly sponsors pay for all or some of their care, unless they are part of Casey’s Sanctuary, they are still up for adoption to the right home. 

Full Equine Sponsor of a Casey’s Rescue. We have people that have fallen in love with a particular rescue and have taken on the responsibility of their monthly care. A pony or donkey costs approximately $250-300 a month and a horse is around $450 a month, less supplements and emergency care.

“Ponyland Sanctuary” Sponsors and “General Care” Sponsors Since opening our doors in 2012, we have never turned down a pony from a pony ride facility. They usually come to us in their thirties and have spent their adult life going around in a circle carrying children, sometimes too heavy for their little bodies. Because they many times come to us in such poor dire health and have not received any attention on their teeth or feet, we take on not just their general care, but the ongoing expense of supplements, medicine, veterinary, and farrier bills. We understand that they may live out their lives with us in Casey’s Sanctuary. On one hand, we are so thrilled that we can give them a “golden” retirement, but this comes at a monetary cost to Casey’s who depends on supporters, sponsors and fundraisers to help pay for our expenses. We have monthly sponsors of all denominations in these two categories. The average sponsorship is $25 - $50 a month.

Prince Training and Rehabilitation Sponsorship We have people that have fallen in love with Prince and his horrific life story. Mitch Bornstein, author of Last Chance Mustang, and renowed trainer of dangerous or difficult horses, came to Casey's rescue and is training Prince. 

Sponsors can choose either Ponyland Sanctuary or General Care Sponsorships, Prince's training and all Equine Sponsorships are acknowledged on our website and social media. See our Sanctuary Ponies below - one might pull at your heartstrings to do a monthly sponsorship.

To set up your Equine Sponsorship, use the Donation Button on the Home Page,  just check the monthly box for your donation to continue monthly. 

Remember, any denomination helps and you can cancel at any time.
