Hay Burr Inn has been rescuing horses for over a decade, but only became a Charitable 501(c)(3) Organization in 2014.

Hay Burr Inn has a unique and critical opportunity to purchase the property we currently occupy for $100,000. This property has an estimated market value of $600,000, making this an extraordinary chance to secure a permanent sanctuary for our horses at a fraction of its true worth. Owning our land will eliminate the uncertainty of leasing and allow us to invest fully in facilities that directly benefit the equines in our care.

Why This Matters:

Permanent Sanctuary: Owning our property means a forever home for our rescued horses, ponies, and donkeys. No more worries about relocations or interruptions to their care.
Financial Stability: Purchasing this property secures our future by providing a permanent home for our equines. This crucial stability means that all resources can consistently be directed toward vital needs like feed, veterinary care, farrier services, and other essential support for our rescued horses, ponies, and donkeys.
Investment in the Future: Ownership allows us to make long-term improvements to the property, creating an even safer, more comfortable, and more efficient environment for our animals and volunteers.
Community Hub: The Hay Burr Inn property is not just a sanctuary; it's a place where volunteers connect, where education happens, and where the community can witness the transformative power of rescue. Securing this land secures this vital community asset.

Our Progress So Far:

We are thrilled to announce a generous matching gift of $5,000 to kickstart our campaign! This means every dollar you donate up to $5,000 will be doubled, making your contribution twice as impactful.

How You Can Make an Impact:

We are aiming for 95 compassionate individuals to contribute $1,000 each to help us reach our goal. However, every single contribution, no matter the size, makes a difference and brings us closer to securing the future of Hay Burr Inn.

About Hay Burr Inn:

We currently house 14 horses and 2 donkeys.

Because the entire staff is family and volunteers, 100% of the money donated by our supporters goes directly to the horses.

Here at Hay Burr Inn Equine Rescue & Sanctuary we practice the “Mustang Method” for our horses. They must walk to the end of the track to get to their hay, and walk back to the barn for their water. Along this track, there are many stations with salt licks and scratch posts. This method helps motivate our horses to get exercise and to socialize with each other. We want our horses to just “be horses”.

We rescue the “unwanted of the unwanted” horses. Horses who no longer serve a purpose for their owners are put up for auction and sold to the highest bidder. Those who are “too broken” to be purchased at the auction are sent over the Canadian or Mexican borders for slaughter. It is our goal to intercept these horses that are bound for slaughter, and take them to our sanctuary. Other horses come to us from severe neglect, abuse and owner surrenders.

Regardless of their origin, it is our goal to take these horses to our sanctuary where they can rest and be rehabilitated. We rehabilitate their health and their spirit- Allowing them a safe place to recover from any medical or mental trauma of their past.

Together, we can secure the future of Hay Burr Inn and ensure a permanent sanctuary for our beloved equines!
