Trash or Treasure

online auction to benefit our participating groups 

We're still collecting items for our upcoming auction! So far we have some wonderful racing memorabilia, a custom portrait by Debbie Sampson, magnet collections from Horse Hollow Press, stretch and flex equine support boots - and more! No need to clutter up your basement or attic when your donations  can serve as both a tax receipt and a way to help equines in need. Simply drop us an email at wendin@specialhorses.org with item description. Think of it as starting spring cleaning early!

Special Horses Wins Recognition From BEHS!

This year Bluebonnet Equine Humane Society (www.bluebonnetequine.org)  implemented a new program  - members' choice awards!  They asked their members to nominate people in various categories that they thought deserved recognition.  All nominators had to be current, paid members or donors of BEHS.  After the nomination period closed, each paid member of BEHS was able to vote for the member they believed deserved recognition in each category. And Special Horses won for Fundraising!! Thank you so much for this recognition! We are honored.

Opie Memorial Wall

If you would like to have a horse's name inscribed on a brick in the Opie Memorial Wall, please send a jpeg of the horse, and a brief biography (250 words) to wendin@specialhorses.org. We ask that you make a donation in memory of the horse; these funds will be used to help our participating groups. Others can donate in your horse's memory as well (simply note the name of the horse on the donation). An acknowledgment of your gift will be sent via e mail with the link to your horse's page on the Memorial Wall.
