-- a non-profit organization dedicated to the welfare and humane care of horses, ponies, donkeys and other large animals --
Hi Everyone, I'm Dorothy! I have taken over Jelly's correspondence, so please email me ...
I'm "all ears" for what anyone has to say. Click Here to email me!
We couldn't be happier to have you visit our "barn" on the
web. While you're here, stay a while and read about some
of the extraordinary horses we have had the privilege of
helping and who have enriched our lives.
Please feel free to take our Virtual
Barn Tour and meet the horses currently at our barn,
surf over to the Calendar of Events (we'd love to meet you
at one of our events), and see what a dramatic difference
we can make working together as told in our Success
Stories...and if you're moved to help, please check
out the How You Can Help pages for
some ideas on how you can make a difference in the lives
of our wonderful horses.
In case you're wondering how your donations
will be used, all of the many talented people who help Horses'
Haven volunteer their time and talents - THERE ARE NO PAID
STAFF AT HORSES' HAVEN - ALL DONATIONS GO DIRECTLY TO THE
CARE OF THE HORSES. On the down side, please be patient
if you contact us and it takes a while for a response. We
do love to hear from you, but since most of us work full-time
jobs in addition to volunteering, sometimes it's hard to
keep up.
We love visitors, and encourage and welcome you to visit
Horses' Haven, however we must request that you make an
appointment in advance.
Horses' Haven started as an all volunteer
organization, and through the years has managed to continue
to function in that capacity. Because of that, we are able
to direct all of your precious donations to the care and
happiness of the horses that we know are as dear to you
as they are to us. Since we are all volunteers, we simply
cannot staff someone to do tours 7 X 24 for drop-ins.
We want you to enjoy your visit, introduce
you to all of the animals in our care, answer your questions
and spend time with you. Volunteers will happily be on hand
to spend time with you during appointments.
To make an appointment to visit Horses' Haven,
please either send us an email at horseshaven@earthlink.net
or call the Horses' Haven office at 517-548-4880.
THANK YOU!!!!
It was with great sorrow that we said good-bye to Ch. Cancun on Tuesday, July 22nd. He spent many great years here at Horses' Haven and filled our hearts with joy every single day he was here. We take comfort in knowing he has gone to a better place, however we will miss him enormously.
We lost beautiful Steffie on Tuesday, July 22nd. She was only with us for a short time, but made an impression on everyone, and will be greatly missed. We take comfort that we know she is in a better place with no pain.
If you'd like to make a memorial donation
in the name of any Horses' Haven resident who was dear to
you, you may do so either by check made out to Horses' Haven
(send to P.O. Box 166, Howell, MI 48844), by credit card
(please call the Horses' Haven office at 517-548-4880),
or through Paypal by using any of the "Donate Today"
buttons on this web page. If you choose to make your donation
using Paypal, please indicate in the "Please Direct
Donation To" field that this is a memorial donation,
and for which animal.
Your memorial donation can also be made in
the name of a beloved pet who once brightened your life
and has since passed on.
As always, your donations are greatly appreciated
and will be used to help the next "Frosty", "Hansel"
and/or "Schroeder" who needs our help.
Our sponsorship horse of the month is Maizie.
Please click here to see
more pictures of Maizie and read her story.
If you would like to help with Maizie's care, please use
the donate button below.
Sponsorship allows you to visit your horse, pony or donkey,
bring carrots, take him/her for a walk on a leadline, groom
and love and spoil the them all you want! Read
how you can sponsor Maizie!
FOSTER HOMES DESPERATELY NEEDED. We are on
overload and need temporary foster homes for non-rideable
or companion horses, none of whom are high maintenance.
Occasionally, we need a temporary home for a rideable
horse until we either find a adoptive home or can get
the horse into our facility. Fostering is tax-deductible
and can be your way of helping out the horses at Horses'
Haven. If you have the room and are interested in this
program, please call us at 517-548-4880.
Our new program allows you to donate food to whichever horse
you specify. First you need to email Dorothy at
Dorothythedonkey@aol.com and find out what your favorite
horse eats. Once you get the information from Dorothy, go
to the "Food for our Four-Footed
Friends" page which is under the main button "How You
Can Help". From the information provided, pick out one or
more or even better yet, all the items. Make sure you enter
the horse's name as well as your name and address. We will
get the feed for you and throw in some kisses and hugs from
you, for your horse! Paypal is available for your convenience.
