Hay For Our Horses

Even when our Museum doors are closed from November through April, the work behind the scenes never stops. Our barn animals still rely on us every single day for food, care, and a safe, warm place to call home.

Our “Hay For Our Horses” campaign is raising support to help cover the rising cost of hay for our four beloved residents: miniature donkeys Sally and Jigger, and our Haflinger horses Willy and Chili. These gentle souls are at the heart of the Babbie Rural & Farm Learning Museum experience, teaching visitors of all ages about farm life, compassion, and the history of rural work animals.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the Museum has very limited income during the winter months, yet essential expenses—hay, grain, bedding, and veterinary care—continue no matter the season. Your generosity directly helps us provide the daily nourishment and care our animals depend on.

Your support means more than you know. Every donation, big or small, helps keep our barn animals healthy, safe, and well‑fed until we welcome visitors back in the spring.

Thank you for being part of their story and ours.
