Hay Cover Taking Shape
While we're thrilled to be receiving rain after 5 years of drought in California, extensive rain and the resulting mud have made progress on the hay cover slower going than hoped. This time of year feeding our wild horses and burros is a challenge in itself given the weather conditions and terrain. The water conservation reservoirs we built in 2016 are being fully utilized!
Our dedicated sanctuary staff work tirelessly to keep up with the many maintenance needs, creating special feed for our growing population of senior horses, all the while seeding our fields to support the natural grazing for our horses.
Even so, using the 228 donations equaling $16,698 raised for this project to date, work has begun on building the hay cover, while we continue to raise the remaining $8,302 it will take to complete it.
Materials have been ordered, the building site on the property has been identified, the cross beams have gone up, and our contractor is actively on the job.
We remain grateful for the investment our supporters have made in an infrastructure project that will benefit the sanctuary's wild horses and burros for many years to come. We look forward to sharing additional photos of this important effort to provide for this basic need of our animal residents.
