November Newsletter

Newsletter November 2024

After a sunny October, winter has officially arrived at the ranch with snow and short days. Daily chores are a little more challenging but the horses are happy with plenty of hay and love from all the amazing volunteers braving the elements. With the shorter days come the most amazing sunsets during feeding time and the sounds of horses eating hay can be quietly heard in the background. 

The winter days also make our phone ring with more requests to take in horses. As folks have difficulty securing hay, feeding horses extra grain or housing them in the winter, we get more desperate calls for horses needing a safe place to go. We took in seven new horses since the last newsletter, four of which just arrived yesterday, all in need of extra groceries and care.

2024 is on pace to have a record number of adoptions, with 28 horses finding loving homes so far. We couldn't care for any of these amazing horses without your ongoing support and help spreading the word about MVHR's mission. As we head into Colorado Gives Season and Year End Giving, please consider making or increasing your donation this year so we can continue to help more horses. You can give between now and December 10th for Colorado Gives Day, and the more MVHR raises for this special day, the larger the percentage of the incentive fund we receive!

In this Newsletter you will also find a number of other ways that you can help the horses during year end or any other time of year. Whether you donate to the "Volunteers Sponsors a Horse" campaign, support the horses through holiday shopping, donate stock or plan a future gift, all have an amazing impact on the lives of horses in need.
