Last Day to wrap a 12 Days of Giving Gift – SRF

Cream Ridge, NJ, December 23, 2021 – The Standardbred Retirement Foundation’s (SRF) 12 Days Of Giving campaign is filling up the space under the Horse tree! Just a little bare spot needs some filling in and today is the last day.

We are grateful to our wonderful friends who have been kind, and generous.

12 Days of Giving Needs:

1. Fill the hayloft for a month for geldings that stand by and flirt with the girls. $1200. Thank you Marc and Marcia Goldberg

2. Protect our donated gator/tractor we call Alli-gator from the rain and snow with a cover. It took 32 years to get one, it needs to last another 32 years. $229.00 Thank you Marc and Marcia Goldberg

3. A new pair of New Balance sneakers for one of the four with ouchy feet, poor guys have a little bit of founder. $150. each. Thank you Marc and Marcia Goldberg, and Brady Jensen

4. We have many loving their senior days in pasture, but need a special meal stirred up every day! Help one of the 18 fuzzy noses at the NY location for a month. $100. Thank you Tom Hauser; Nora Shiffman; Georgia Haddon; Tiffany Thompson, and Andrea Childs.

5. Retire one Granny or Gramps to your care and SRF will give you up to $350 a year for veterinary care-it’s our new CHAPS Program. This gift is priceless! Thank you Kathy and Matt Pickup.

6. Our English, and Western saddles have way too many miles, please help so we can keep these kids in training so they can get a loving home. $450. Thank you to Kathy Pickup and her mom!

7. 75 fuzzy noses at one location party all day long, tossing hay around! Let’s put an end to that! Six hay racks will do it, each is – $329 each Thank you Dr. Joy Micale for all six.

8. A visit from the equine dentist for the new ones from the slaughter-line that likely haven’t seen a dentist in a decade. We have 14 waiting on the man with the rasp. $50. for each. Thank you Marc and Marci Goldberg; Stefanie O’Connell; Megan Jones; Mary Smith; Barbara Townsend; Ashley Johnson; Cher Paolillo; Judy O’Hare.

9. Would you fill the feed tubs for the girls during the Sweetheart month, February! Thirty-five are at one location and one is sweeter than the next. $1,100

10. Sponsor our presence at the PA. Horse Expo in February 2022. The expenses are costly, but it is so important to be there. The booth, the travel, hotel room – sponsor part or all, and come say hello! $250-$1400.

11. Software assistance and programs, technology is ever-changing, and we need to keep up with it to be efficient. $500-2500.

12. This certainly should be number one on our list. There are several Standardbreds weighed and tagged to ship for slaughter right now that we are trying to help. Would you help one by providing the gift to get released from the slaughter line, help with their quarantine and care, offer a home, you may know one?

Thank you Patricia Sayles for saving three. Cher Paolillo; Adam Skipper; Jesse “The Blacksmith”; Randy Bluestein; Marc Foster; and Sarah Johnson, all helped a horse escape the slaughter line.

There are many more to choose from that are hoping for a chance. Several other kind donations have been received beyond what has been noted, however, there was no designation to a particular need. Thank you to these wonderful friends, we will apply where they are needed most.
