We desperately need a tractor!
Do you or someone you know have one to donate?

One of our biggest and constant needs is hay.
On large round bale will feed 4 horses for 3-4 days.
One square bale will feed one horse for one day.

Rolls cost us $45 each
Squares cost us $4 each

As you might imagine, we have an almost constant need for boars to repair fences. We use 2"x16' pressure treated boards, but we can get by with 1"x16' as long as they are pressure treated. The original fence was built with rough cut 2"x14' boards, but that's uncommon and would not be easy to find. If you have any boards laying around that would fit the bill...let us know!

Seminole Senior Feed - This is the special, easy to digest feed we give to our older horses. It costs @ $22 per bag. It is the best feed for a variety of aged horses and their various conditions. Unfortunately, our local Seminole dealer went out of business so we make due with  Triple Crown Senior available to us locally.
 
If you happen to live near a feed store that sells Seminole and would like to donate some bags, we and the horses would be grateful.

Proper, Natural Balance Equine Dental care is essential for domestic horses. Most of our rescues coem to us with damaged teeth that require specialized care. It is very difficult to find an Equine Dentist who understands how to do Natual Balance Dentistry and pricey. But such dentists are worth the price!!

Some of our current rescues are unadoptable and are permanent residents. Sponsors are vitally important to assure nutrition and health care needs are met for them while they live out their days at Whisper Ranch.

Those that are adoptable need sponsors while they await their forever home and our foster horses need help too!

Go to the Current Rescues page to read each animal's monthly need and choose which you would like to be a special angel to as a sponsor!!

If you would like to make a one time donation to a specific recue animal whether at the ranch or in foster care, just be sure to let us know which animal and we will designate your donation only to the care of that one.

We are keenly aware that the current economic crisis is taking a toll on everyone. Disposable income is becoming a thing of the past as families struggle just to get by. Unfortunately, animals suffer too - horses in particular as they are very expensive to care for compared to dogs and cats. This means that more and more horses are coming into rescues all around the country while at the same time the resources to care for them dwindles. We are no different...there are more horses that need us than we can provide for. Our network of foster homes are over loaded as well. If you or someone you know can foster or adopt a horse (or goat or anything else that comes in) please let us know.

In the meantime, SPREAD THE WORD about Whisper Ranch! Thank you!!

If you have items that we could resell at a yard sale or on eBay, let us know. It is difficult for staff to set up and run a yard sale, but we will do it!! Better yet, you could have a yard sale on behalf of the horses!! Items that are small enough to be shipped, we can sell on eBay or you can do that for us, too! Either way, we will be grateful for any such donations.

With so many mouths to feed, we are always in need of fundraising ideas to keep enough cash flowing to provide feed and medical care. However, fundraising takes an enourmous amount of time and requires someone with talent for it. If you are willing to help by doing a fundraiser on behalf of the Ranch. Let us know!
