Bright Futures Farm is  one of only two known facilities in the United States that accept senior stallions.

 

We are always in need of foster homes. When you foster a horse you help us save one more from harm.  Fostering expenses are tax-deductible.  If you have room, please ask us about our foster program.

How You Can Help      

   
 
 

If you believe in what we do...

never think that any gift is too small.

There are many horses in permanent retirement at Bright Futures Farm.  They are victims of abuse, neglect or, sadly, have outlived their usefulness for an owner who no longer wanted a horse that wasn't productive.  All of these horses, as well as those waiting for homes need your support. 

The cost to care for one of our senior horses is approximately $300 per month.  That includes hay, grain, vet, farrier, dental, vitamins, supplements and de-worming. 

Additionally, we have to meet the ever changing dietary and medical needs of the elders we have in our care.  Our Senior Residents need a variety of supplements from kelp (vitamins and minerals) to prebiotics and probiotics (beneficial bacteria to aid in digestion), joint supplements and, for several, cough remedies.    We currently care for seven healthy Seniors ranging in age from 29-34.  Click here to meet our Permanent Residents.

We also have several horses available to adopt at our facility at any given time.  While most of these horses will not require additional supplements, they still will receive regular dental, farrier and veterinary care as needed. 

It is only with your help that we can continue to assist horses in need, both temporarily and permanently.  We receive NO government funding, as many people assume.  No one affiliated with Bright Futures Farm receives a salary for their efforts here.  We rely solely on donations from individuals like you... who love animals, and want to help make a difference in their lives. 

If you believe in our mission and our purpose, please consider a tax-deductible contribution today to help us continue our work.    If you would like to create an automatic monthly contribution of a specific amount, we can also arrange that for you.  Please contact us for more information on monthly sponsorships.

You may make a tax-deductible contribution on line via paypal (the most popular secure on line transaction company), by clicking the link below.

You may make a tax-deductible contribution by check or money order by mailing it to:

Additional Ways to Help

 

While we need and greatly appreciate direct financial support, we realize that not everyone is in a position to assist our charity in that manner.  There are so many other ways you can support our organization.  And, supporting Bright Futures Farm makes a tremendous difference in the life of a horse in need. 

 

By supporting Bright Futures Farm YOU are helping these animals heal both physically and emotionally and have a viable productive and happy life.  Some of them may never have experienced that until now.  And, when businesses, corporations, foundations and individuals support Bright Futures Farm, you are giving us the resources we need to continue our work with these magnificent, proud and deserving creatures.  Every dollar you donate goes directly toward the care of the horses at our farm.  We have no paid staff.  We are all working voluntarily.  It is our passion that drives us to help the horses. 

 

We have accomplished a great deal in the eleven years we’ve been helping horses.  We have inspired others to establish their own equine charities – some on a moderate scale like Bright Futures, and some who take one horse at a time because they have the space, resources, time and passion. 

 

We have been recognized time and again for our rehabilitation and rescue work and our Executive Director's understanding of the Thoroughbred breed. 

 

Because we are a recognized facility for rehabbing and transitioning horses; because we are one of only two facilities in the country that accept senior stallions; because we are thorough and proactive in our adoptions... the demand for our resources has grown. 

By using the links below whenever you can...whether it is to shop, or simply long on and search the Internet...you are helping us raise the much needed funding that keeps every horse healthy while they are with us.

YOU help make the difference in the lives of these horses.

Please help us continue our mission with your support today.

Thank you
