Here are some other opportunities to help the KyEHC:

For Sale: De-clutter your home and support a good cause by holding a yard or garage sale to get rid of clothes you no longer wear, books you’ve read, furniture that is gathering dust and anything else you don’t use anymore. Donate the proceeds from your sale to the KyEHC for feed, bedding, grooming tools and other horse supplies that are essential to keeping the center running. If you work or ride at a boarding/lesson barn, ask your fellow equestrians to donate halters, lead ropes or blankets that they don’t use anymore. Go to www.kyehc.org for a list of items the center needs. 

Other options for raising money:

  • Bake sale
  • Car wash
  • Auction
  • Fundraiser dance or other social event
  • Be creative and come up with your own fundraiser!

Donate Money: The center can always use funds for all of the necessary health care and supplies required to keep the horses healthy and happy while they wait for a new home. Every donation counts!

Volunteer:  If you live near the KyEHC, use some of your free time to help muck stalls, groom and turn out horses, hold horses for the vet or farrier, or assist with office duties. Even just an hour of your time makes a difference.
