Well done, and huge congratulations! I’m sure that was no small feat. I’m not surprised, though, you and Terry seem to be pretty upfront about everything. Thank you and may the Lord bless you for all you do for our wild horses and burros.

Fantastic news R.T. You and Terry and your organization are to be commended. I know often times you end up funding efforts out of your own pocket because the donations are just not there but your generosity and “Make it so” attitude win out…along with the horses.
I, for one, get so tired of the begging on the Internet, some you know, some you don’t. Being able to check GuideStar is a great way to know for certain just who and to what your money is going to be used. Personally I don’t think advocates heading so-called ‘charitable organizations’ should be taking salaries of $80,000.00 plus a year. Especially when it’s kept secret from the folks you’re asking for donations. That’s a lot of money and from what I’ve seen of certain “Presidents” of these organizations it’s money down the toilet.
It’s time to cull the beggars for their own profit from the majority of those truly interested in the helping the horses and burros. If they want my money they better be found on GuideStar!
