Greetings!

We're in full swing of our Spring session!  Read on to learn about upcoming events and happenings!

Cliff's Drive2Ride

 

Cliff's Drive2Ride is off to a wonderful start! 

Oscar Dehn

Thanks to the Hearts and Horses staff, volunteers, and equines who have created fundraising pages. Long-time Hearts and Horses supporter, Oscar Dehn, was the very first person to create a page this year. Over the past few years, Oscar has been one of our most successful fundraisers- reaching out to those around him in support of Hearts and Horses' mission. 

 

Oscar says on his fundraising page: "So many wonderful things are happening at the facility and they are helping so many people that they were recognized as the 2013 non-profit of the year by the Loveland Chamber of Commerce. Will you help me keep all this great work going by donating to my page? The money will be used to offer scholarships to those in need. This is one of the most wonderful places I've ever been a part of." 

 

Check out Oscar's page and explore some other fundraisers!

 

 

Cliff & Holly

Please join all of us in supporting the legacy that Cliff has left Hearts and Horses! Recently we found out that Cliff has left Hearts and Horses a legacy gift: $10,000 annually for many years into the future to be used as a matching challenge for Cliff's DRIVE2RIDE. 

We need to raise at least $10,000 to satisfy the challenge.

 

Visit the Cliff's Drive2Ride webpage for more information on setting up a page and the dedicated ColoradoGives webpage to donate or create a page.

 

 

For a little bit of fun, the Hearts and Horses herd has created a friendly competition. "Vote" for your favorite horse by contributing to their fundraising page! (Scroll down the page to find your favorite.) 

 

The herd has created 5 teams: 

  • The Bachelors
  • The Small but Mighty Crew
  • The Lovely Ladies
  • The Gracious, Good-looking Geldings
  • The Picturesque Paints. 

Right now the Bachelors are waaaay in the lead with $200, so if you have a horse you'd like to see in the running, contribute today!

Calling all Gentle Giants!

 

Hearts and Horses is currently looking for gentle giants to add to our program! Do you have or know of a horse that is a big, beautiful buddy? 

Noah with "Gentle Giant" Watusi

We are looking for horses around 1,500 lbs in weight, probably over 16 hands in height that can carry some of our adult riders, such as our veterans, on a regular basis. We accept horses from all backgrounds, but ask that they are completely sound and have full and complete vision. Typically, we look for horses that are between 8 and 16 years old that are physically, mentally and emotionally capable of working with a multitude of different riders in varied environments. 

We are always excited to welcome new horses to our program, whether through lease or donation.

 

If you know of a Gentle Giant please contact our Equine Manager, Liz, at liz@heartsandhorses.org or check out our website for more info!      

Beautiful Landscaping!

 

Have you seen the beautiful picnic area on the east side of our offices? Thank you so much to Peggy Woodward, one of our dedicated and talented volunteers, for all of her hard work and creativity.

Thanks for YOU and all you do!

Sincerely,

Your Hearts and Horses Family
