After the generosity of our Sperry View family, we decided to organize another relief effort for the two and four-legged victims of Helene. We have secured an empty horse trailer to bring goods to Tryon International Equestrian Center or another location that the Fleet of Angels identifies.

** We are collecting both two and four-legged donations. **

Donations needed from Tryon and Fleet of Angels are shared in the attached pictures.

Donations can be dropped in our smaller indoor arena, to the left as you walk in.

If you would rather contribute monetarily, we can gather goods to fill the trailer. The farm’s Venmo is -doering-3. The farm’s PayPal is . Please note “donation” or Helene on the money sent. 100% of the donations will go our Helene relief effort.

If it’s easier to just donate, here are some guidelines.

$10 = bale of hay
$20 = beet pulp
$30 = bag of forage, grain, timothy or alfalfa pellets
$20-40 = dog food, cat food, litter
$50 = human aid kit (first aid, socks, toiletries)

Donations will be accepted until 10/16. If this date changes, we will update everyone.

10/04/2024

In under 24 hours, our Sperry View Family rallied for Helene donations for Fleet of Angels organized by Rising Starr Horse Rescue. We filled the back of a pickup!

Pictured below is our donations with those Rising Starr already collected.

We are so thankful and in awe of the generosity of our SVF family, who rallied and donated with short notice.

Stayed tuned, we are organizing more donation opportunities.

Thank you to all of the volunteers. We could not run this day without you! We hope you can join us again on Saturday, October 26th for our Sperry View Farm Jumper Show #3. On top of a Halloween theme, we are tossing around the idea of a costume class or competing in a costume, if feasible.

One of our resident riders, Annie Brinton, took photographs of everyone. When they are available, we will let you know.

Lastly, Hilltop Turf and Landscape provided us with beautiful mums! Check them out for landscape needs!

Sleeping Giant Pony Club raised over $170 with their bake sale and “grab and donate” tack sale.

At our next show, at the conclusion of each division, Series Division Champions and Reserve Champions will be passed out. As a reminder, riders need to ride in 2 of our 3 shows and in the same division to qualify. We have the generous support of Cheshire Equestrian Center, Lock, Stock, & Barrel, SmartPak and Sperry View Supporters to give special prizes to the series division champions.
