Support IHP, we tell you why: 1-our mission

28/09/2012

(28th September 2012)

Our association’s third birthday is around the corner: with this newsletter “ in episodes” we want to tell you about our success and future projects, to show you how we translate your support in concrete facts.

IHP is an one in a kind association, because it operates on national wide scale with divulgation, denounces, management of abuse reports, promotion of new laws for the protection of the horses and also because, at the meantime, it manages the first – and so far only – rescue centre for mistreated equines in Italy, animals sequestrated according to the law 189/2004. The centre has been recognized with a decree by the Health Ministry on 23rd December 2009 and inserted in a special list.

Beginning with very limited resources and great ambitions, we have already done a lot and we want to grow quickly, to save even more horses from abuse and mistreatment.

In the next newsletters we’ll talk about the denounces and sequestrations that saw us play a key role, of the scientific work, of the investigations and future projects.

In the meantime, take a look at the many ways you can help us: we are supported only by free donations, that’s why we ask for your indispensible help.

Every donation, no matter the amount, is always precious for us. Some examples?

- with 5 euros you provide for four days the drugs our pony Arturo – affected by a grave form of asthma—needs to survive ;
- with 10 euros you contribute to buy two rolls of elastic bandage or two bags of “wafer” hay for our older horses;
- with 20 euros you pay for the fuel our tractor uses in six days;
- with 50 euros, you help us to buy a bale of hay or a box of antibiotics;
- with 100 euros you provide for about eight months the drugs our little Miranda – affected by Cushing’s disease—needs to survive ;
- with 500 euros you help us to buy vermifuge for about twenty horses.

You can also choose to distant adopt one of the horses we saved: click here to know them and read the adoption methods.

To help us and in the meantime give yourself a touch of elegance, why don’t you buy a piece of clothing “signed” by IHP? Click here to see them.

If instead you want to give us a special gift or have the chance to find stuff we need at very low prices, this is our “wish list”, some things we would find very useful but we can’t afford right now:

- wooden boards to enlarge the infirmary and to build a shed;
- rubber pavement for the infirmary;
- one or more storage tanks for rain water;
- one hedge trimmer;
- two wheelbarrows;
- four mud tires for your jeep;
- two desk PC’s for our office;
- one 2-horse trailer to transport horses;
- one digger.
