[Animal's name] still needs a farrier

Hi [First name],

A lot has happened at the barn since you last gave. [Animal's name] came to us last spring with overgrown, cracked hooves, and still needs a farrier every six to eight weeks to walk without pain.

On Giving Tuesday next week, we're raising $1,000 for farrier visits: 20 hoof trims at $50 each, so rescued horses can keep walking comfortably all winter.

Would you give early, before the day arrives? Early gifts get the goal moving and give [Animal's name] a head start.

You can give here: [Donation link]

Thank you for being part of this herd's story.
