Tack and Saddles Needed

Horse Supplies Needed

The horse barn is complete and the boys are busy with riding, feeding and mucking stalls.  And, with the addition of the new Horse Program at Ben Richey Boys Ranch in Abilene there comes a genuine need for all the parts and pieces that make it work.

Items needed for the Horse Program include:

  • Saddles
  • Tack
  • Blankets
  • Hats for the Boys during parade season
  • Ropes and roping dummy
  • Feed and hay
  • Arena lighting
  • Boots-the boys grow out of ’em in a hurry!
  • Monetary donations. Your donations help support the Horse Program.

Several horses have been gifted to the boys and if you have a “Good, bomb-proof, kid horse,” that you would like to donate, please let us know.

Additionally there is a need to build an arena at the Ranch.  With the help of volunteers and monetary donations this plan can easily be realized.  If you have welding skills or are a licensed electrician and can donate your time please let us know. As with all gifts to the Ranch, you contribution is tax deductible.

 

“No hour of life is wasted that is spent in the saddle.”  ~Winston Churchill
