OUR NEEDS
PALOMINO RIDGE RANCH HORSE RESCUE IS ENTIRELY DEPENDENT ON DONATIONS FROM GENEROUS GIVERS to provide FOR THE Needs of the RESCUED HORSES. WE WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU MAY BE WILLING TO GIVE, TO HELP FINANCIALLY SUPPORT THE HORSES AT OUR RESCUE. BELOW ARE OUR NEEDS:
BUY A BALE
Buy A Tifton 85 Round Bale
We currently feed 10 - 11 TIfton 85 round bales per week as the staple diet for our rescue horses. We prefer to keep grass hay in front of them at all times, which helps keep their digestive tracts functioning as nature intended, as well as helps guard against ulcers. Round bale prices change frequently, especially during drought and the winter. Our current price per round bale is $95.
Please consider donating round bales. We appreciate it very much.
Buy A Bermuda Square Bale
We currently feed 50lb bermuda square bales as the staple diet to feed the rescue horses in the barn. We prefer to keep grass hay in front of the horses at all times, Square bale prices change frequently, especially during drought and the winter. Our current supplier is selling these bales to us for $9 each, which is cheaper than other suppliers.
Please consider donating toward square bales. We appreciate it very much.
Buy An Alfalfa Bale
We currently feed 5 of the 100lb alfalfa bales per week. We have found a great price on these CA alfalfa bales, at $33 each. All other suppliers are charging $35 a bale.
We only feed alfalfa to our rescue horses who are recovering from illness, for those that came to us underweight, for hard keepers, senior horses and for weanlings.

We do have to get Rabies vaccine administered by our veterinarian, as Texas state law does not allow us to purchase and administer Rabies vaccine. Our veterinarian charges us $20 each for Rabies vaccinations. Our veterinarian's farm call service charge is $100. Please consider donating for vaccinations for one or more horses.

Buy A teeth floating
Buy chiropractic/osteopathy
Buy chiropractic/osteopathy
The majority of adult horses that we rescue, come to us in need of teeth floating. Floating the teeth helps the horses chew thoroughly and absorb nutrients. When teeth are in need of floating, a horse can lose weight even though they are consuming more than enough calories. Having teeth floated actually saves on the amount of hay and feed needed to sustain adequate weight. Our veterinarian charges $250 for teeth floating. Please consider donating for a horse to have their teeth floated. We appreciate it very much.
Donations received for teeth floats/dental needs - $0.00

We are currently using a wonderful osteopath named Jaime Longbrake, who has greatly helped those who needed her services the most. Current cost for the osteopathy/chiropractic adjustments is $100 per horse. Please consider donating for a horse in need, to receive an adjustment. We appreciate it very much.

We would like to establish an Emergency Fund to provide for situations that we cannot treat ourselves. Please consider donating to the Emergency Fund. We appreciate it very much.
Donations received for the Emergency Fund - $25.00 in. Thank you so much donor!
