Goals & Strategy
Learn about the organization's key goals, strategies, capabilities, and progress.
Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
To continue saving needy equines and continuing our community outreach by opening our Sanctuary to visitors and volunteers to learn as much as they wish, laugh and enjoy our happy equines.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
To continue fundraising to continue the optimum care of our equines, most of which are senior citizens.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
The founder has over 35 years of experience with horses, including showing for 12 of those years.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We still exist after 14 years even though fundraising is getting tougher and tougher, the founder was diagnosed with breast cancer and went through chemotherapy, surgery, radiation and a year later major lower back surgery. We might be a little slower, but still kicking and adding to our sanctuary residents as we can financially.
What we have not accomplished is bringing in enough funds to pay for some steady help and do some major repairs. We also wish to have the availability of extra funds to buy a horse from an auction or to take on an emergency rescue without stressing over the amount of rehabilitation, etc.
