*~Ivelolharele Horse Boarding, Rescue and Retirement~*Forever Home, Forever Safe

Often times we have people approach us and ask "How can we help?" People want to help the horses, but they don't have the time to help around the farm, they don't have the room to foster or support a horse on their own....they feel helpless, but have a genuine want to help these defenseless animals.

With this in mind we are starting a new Sponsorship Program.

We will be updating our website with the horses we are offering for sponsership, their information and needs. When you sponsor a horse, you are helping that animal live the life it deserves.

White Ribbon Sponsor: $50 - $75 per month

Red Ribbon Sponsor: $75-$125 per month

Blue Ribbon Sponsor: $125 - $200 per month

Grand Champion Sponsor: $200 and above

Your name will be listed on our site as a sponsor! We all thank you for your generosity.

We would also like to send a great big THANK YOU to Kammy Clark who works here at the stables. Without the help from Kammy and Sabrina we would not be able to function the way we do. Both girls mean the world to us, and have become a great big part of our family.

We have a full time trainer coming to Ivelolharele. We will be updating his information when we get it all in order. We're very excited about this new development.

Winter is almost upon us....we are still in need of some turnout blankets, size 72 to size 78. Also in desperate need of a foal blanket, size 40. Lunge lines are still needed, along with feed buckets, water tank heaters, bucket heaters, and hoof boots.

We want to use this special place to say a special thank you and show recognition to Sabrina, an ag student from Chilton Jr. High that comes every night, on her own time, helps with chores and then plays, grooms, and works with each and every horse! Her long term goals are to become an Equine Chiropractor! She is my God sent! Sabrina is very dedicated and we thank her very much for donating her time and hard work.

We now have 28 horses here and possibly one new boarder coming in next month.

As always, we are accepting donations. Any gently used horse item is greatly appreciated and monetary donations are always welcomed, and put to good use. Thank you everyone, for your generosity the past year.
