Dear VolunTIERS!
I cannot think of a more appropriate month to give thanks to each and every one of you for all the amazing work and assistance you have given TIER. I realize that scheduling a TIER Cleanup day on a Friday was not an ideal day for everyone and to those of you who were able to give us some time to assist with the CleanUp we are truly grateful. We could not have gotten though it all without you! All of you hunkered down and pulled through and your dedication and donation of time certainly did not go unnoticed! I hardly recognize the place!
Thanks to your tireless efforts water barrels are so much cleaner, the pens are spick and span, corral panels were replaced (this was a Herculean effort- thanks Mark/Julia/Scot!), and Old Blue (the tractor) is back in service (Scot.....we just can't thank you enough!!). The arena area was landscaped to include a mountain of manure!!!! That was some hard work folks! It is our hope to raise enough funds to have all the manure removed before the rains start. We are researching the most cost effective way to have this accomplished which appears to be renting a huge container/roll off and putting Old Blue into service to move the mountain!
Heartfelt thanks to Cindy H. for organizing this VolunTIER day. Cindy not only worked hard at cleaning the corrals, but she also provided the wonderful lunch spread and sodas. Her Chicken Salad is to die for! Thanks so much Cindy & Scott.
We are hoping to schedule another VolunTIER day in the near future that will not be so labor intensive! HA! We want you to be able to spend a bit more time with horses!
Once again - Thank You.
On behalf of the horses and myself we wish all of you a very Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!

Every donation helps. Even the smallest amount will make a difference, especially if you can donate on a regular basis. The costs of maintaining TIER's sanctuary - providing food, care, and basic medical services to the horses of TIER are always there. To be able to step in and save a horse in an emergency situation or handle unexpected vet bills, we also need to have a sufficient emergency fund.

Donate
a Bale of Hay or a Manicure!
Hay is purchased by the truckload approximately every 3 months. This allows the horses to have consistency in their feed and gives volunteers a chance to climb up & down the haystack! Currently, hay prices are $10.00 a bale for alfalfa & $16.50 for Orchard.
The farrier visits appx. every 8 weeks. Hoof trims run $30. If there are hoof issues (navicular, founder, clubbed foot, etc.) the farrier is out more often. The fee runs a bit more if shoes or pads are required.
These are major, recurring expenses of care/maintenance for the TIER residents. Can you donate an amount to help?
Donate: $10/month /
$25/month /
$50/month

My
First Horse -
by Debbie R.

The world is so much better when
you know someone cares. It’s not just TIER that cares, but
people across this nation. The hard work put in by the VolunTIERS
helps each and every TIER resident. Our generous supporters who
not only help by sending much needed monetary donations for feed
and care, vet supplies & supplements, also help by getting
the word out. Because of you horses have found homes! Because
of your caring we are able to help horses that had a not so nice
future. We have been blessed with the presence of each TIER resident
who continues to teach us about this wonderful animal we call
The Horse.
Although there are times when we
struggle because the hay fund is low, vet bills are high, dental
& farrier care need to be done, wormers need to be ordered,
etc., we know that you care about our efforts and the welfare
of the horses. Thank you!!
