What is
Hoofing2Help?
Hoofing2Help is an organization whose focus is coordinating fundraising events for equine rescues. Our goal is to assist in raising the money that these "saviors" desperately need for the rescue, care and maintenance of the animals they save, as well as drawing attention to the plight of unwanted, abused and "slaughter-bound" horses.
Annually, walkathons raise tens of thousands of dollars for high-profile health organizations. We are adapting this to horseback, and expect this to do the same for all the equine rescues whose participants will saddle up and join us for the 2010 Hoofing2Help ride. Riders can help by getting friends and family to sponsor their ride in dollar amounts (sponsorship is a flat amount for the entire ride, not by distance). Funds raised will go directly organizations to provide for abused, neglected and unwanted horses. We encourage your questions and are here to help make this a great day. This event will help so many horses and make a statement that abuse, neglect, and shipping of horses across the border for slaughter are unacceptable.
So, please join us at the Mercer County Equestrian Center, Pennington, NJ for our statewide effort that will help all horses when horse lovers ride in the 2010 Hoofing2Help ride on September 19, 2010 (Rain date of September 26, 2010).
We look forward to a very successful day!
How it Works:
There are several charities participating in this ride which will benefit both from your individual sponsorship (pledges) and from the general funds raised on the day of the ride. The charities are counting on these pledges. We encourage you to raise at least $25 in pledges for the charity you are supporting.
There is a general registration submission form (link is at the top) that you will use to register with 2010 Hoofing2Help. This will be sent to the coordination team. After that you will deal directly with the charity you are riding for. Please pre-register for the ride by September 05, 2010. This will allow the coordination team to have an accurate count, plan for everyone to have an enjoyable day, and you to get the most possible pledges in support of the charity. "Walk-in's" are welcomed the day of the ride. However, we ask that you make a donation of $35 to your choice of the participating charities at the time of registration.
Ø Once you register, the charity will be notified and you:
o Will receive access to a forms library. This is where you can print flyers to hand out or post to raise pledges, rider releases that must be brought (completed) the day of the ride, and ride rules, guides and information.
o Will be sent a confirmation of registration. This will include a rider number, the charity you are riding for and their contact information.
