Skip Over Trouble Equine Rescue, Inc. hasn't added a story.
We got a call for a very upset lady stating she has to place her very loved horse as she has lost her job and has not been able to find another. `I told her of course we would if we had the funds. She stated but you are a 501c3 horse rescue I figured you get alot of donations! I said we were told the samething after being a private rescue for years, then we became a Florida non-profit, still people didn't want to donate much unless we were a 501c3. So a couple that believed in what we are about and what we do paid for the expensive part of becomming a 501c3.That still didn't really help we are spending 95 % our personal money. Then we were told ..people want something for their money, so we put up a auction as we see this helping other rescues. Well that is really not going anywhere so we bite the bullet and let something else go so we can keep up with all the costs and continue to work re-training and working with the horses that are up for adoption.It seems people are interested in the quick safe, free horses , no adoption contract or kill buyer threats to ship, ect. and not the perfect rescue horses here. Yes we do not adopt out of state but we have alot of people in Florida. She then said well how do you survive. I told her out of love for these beautiful animals that through no fault of their own are put into terrible situations and sometimes like her, people that love their animals but are forced for the benefit of the horse to find a new home for them. We give up stuff ! We don't go out to eat, we are careful on what we spend on our food, we don't buy that tack or other items we would love to have. We don't go visit people unless they are very close, to save money on gas. We don't pay for cable or cell phone (our daughter does for now) I could keep going but you get the idea. We made a promise to the horses in our care , we will go without to keep them healthy and taken care of until their family comes along. We will stand by that no matter what we personaly have to give up. I told her we do have a couple people that send us a monthly donation which helps with a 5 bags of food for the month..that is alot to us and we so appreciate them more then they probably know. I told her now very sorry we are to have to turn her down but we have a commitment to keep and cannot add on any more. Now if people would take the time to see we are truly in it for the animals and not ourselfs they would donate I am sure to help with their care or adopt the ones ready. We are a 501c3 and do give tax receipts. We will help her advertise her horse and we will do our best help her find people for her to check out wanting a horse like hers. Please can you find it in your heart to help us , help them ? Our hay / feed bill is going to go up because the grass has quite growing. We could so use the publics support that is why we are a 501c3 so the public that cannot do it themselfs still can with helping us continue to !
