WE LOVE HORSES
Many items for sale to help feed our horses.
LET’S HAVE A PARTY! Last summer, Kathleen Hayes, a supporter of HLU, decided to have a small intimate Unicorn party in her back yard to raise some funds for the retired horses HLU has to care for every month. The party was small, because of Covid and she invited co-workers whom she was around every day. They were asked to bring an item for a Silent Auction. The horses became Unicorns. Everybody loved getting their photo taken with a Unicorn. If you have a horse or a pony in your back yard, please consider doing a fund-raiser like this to help horses that are not so fortunate to have a home of their own. If you don’t have a horse, we will supply you with sturdy photos of our horses that need the help. We can also supply some boots to fill with donations for each horse. Most of you probably have back yard barbecues, birthday parties, and other small gatherings. PLEASE consider doing something to help these horses. I think it could make your party even more enjoyable. We also have some items we could give you for the Silent Auction, including some decorated horseshoes. These are shoes worn by some actual racehorses. HLU is no longer able to have “regular” fund-raisers, like the big Silent Auction that we had every January at the DSOA Awards Banquet. If enough of you will party for HLU, it will make a difference. Even 10 people can make a difference! Or maybe horses and Unicorns are not your thing, but you would still like to help. How about a baseball theme, or Nascar, or whatever your favorite thing is. We will still help you with planning and some prizes. Spring Cleaning It's right around the corner. Please remember HLU and our "sanctuary" horses that we have to care for until they pass. Star, Tarzan, and Ty, 3 Standardbred geldings, that depend on HLU and their dedicated volunteers that provide the care they need. HLU has to raise about $1,000 every month to pay their expenses. When you are cleaning out your unwanted items, please consider having a yard sale and donating the proceeds to HLU. Don't have time for a sale? Donate your high quality items and we can pick them up and sell them in our booth at Flea Market 13 Antiques & Collectibles in Pocomoke City, MD. Socializing Do you like to get out and meet people? There are many opportunities for HLU to set up a table and sell some of our items and get the word out about what we do.
There are a lot of options for equines that owners can no longer keep. Contact HLU to help you find an option.
