Feed A
Comstock 'Wild' Horse
For The Winter
$150 will feed a
horse for the winter
The 2005-2006 winter was a wet one and has greatly
alleviated the drought on the
Virginia Range. As a result we will substantially reduce our feeding
programs. However, hay prices have increased drastically and our feeding
fund has run dangerously low! Thus we still need funds for even our greatly
diminished feeding program.
Please consider sponsoring a Comstock
'Wild' Horse
for next winter's feeding program.
You could make a HUGE difference!
It costs us about $150.00 to
feed one horse for the entire winter season. This will keep the
horse alive, but is much less than it takes
to sustain a domesticated horse, as the the wild horses will still forage for additional
nutrition. If each of you would find it in your hearts to sponsor just
one
horse, we would be assured that we would be able to keep these beautiful
creatures from being hungry this winter.
So please...Browse through the
photos below of some of the local Comstock 'Wild' Horses out on our
Virginia Range. If you feel you would like to help, just
click on the picture,
and it will take you to our donations page. Please note your
donation as "Sponsor
a Comstock Wild Horse".
A receipt will be sent to you
for your donation, so that
you may deduct your donation at tax-time. But most of
all, you will have the satisfaction of knowing that because of your
help, the horses on the Virginia Range are not going to be found like "Lovey"
or "Lady". Both are horses that were found starving, and on the brink of death
last year. (By the way, these horses were both rescued, and brought
back to health by VRWPA volunteers. They are both healthy now.
Lovey has been released back out on the range, and is part of a large
local band of horses, and Lady was adopted by the VRWPA volunteers that nursed
her back to health.)
