Castration Donations Needed!

March 29th, we have 12 males (11 donkeys and 1 horse) being gelded and as the old wives tale says, "raising their IQ".  As the boys say, "OUCH!"

There is more work involved in castrating donkeys then there is with horses because they tend to bleed more and we have been given discounted pricing to help get them all done by wonderful and experienced veterinarians.  Extra ligating and stitches are needed for the donkeys to ensure proper closure, reduced bleeding and better healing.  

Chancer now 9 months old

Our fundraising goal is $2500.   Dr. Kari Christianson will be castrating Avery and Chancer here at our facility in Snowflake and Dr. Mike Hutchison* will do our other 10 donkeys (part of the Naco 19*) while at our rescue partner Equine Voices Rescue & Sanctuary* in Green Valley where they will stay till we transport them to the Snowflake ranch hopefully April 4th.  We thank them all so much for their participation in this very important project.

We really need everyone's help.  $5, $10, $20 or more, every donation will help prevent breeding and allow us to eventually adopt them out to great homes.

To donate using a credit card or via PayPal just click here:

Checks can be mailed to EqWBR, PO Box 2722, Snowflake, AZ  85937

We are a 501c3 non-profit and donations are tax-deductible.   Please help by donating and sharing this need with your friends, they may want to help too! 

Thank you all so very, very much!
