💖 Let’s Have Some Valentine’s Day Fun! 💖

Over the next few posts, you’ll see some of our wonderful herd members, and we’d love for you to weigh in on your favorites! If you’re not familiar with them yet, head over to our website to learn more—you might just fall in love. 💕

And who knows? Maybe one of them is waiting for their perfect match—could it be you? If adoption isn’t in the cards, consider becoming a sponsor and supporting them in a special way. Every bit of love helps! ❤️🐴

Small but might Saturday night crew thawed out enough to send in a picture! Wow! Four volunteers on a very miserable and cold night and all chores were done and horses were loved on. Love our volunteers!

‼️ IMPORTANT WEATHER UPDATE ‼️
Tomorrow, the world’s most famous groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, will emerge to make his annual prediction
Will he:
A) See his shadow and doom us to six more weeks of winter? ❄️🥶
B) Not see his shadow and bless us with an early spring? 🌷☀️
C) Be too busy checking the weather channel to come out? 😂

Either way, we’re putting all our trust in a rodent. What could go wrong?

What’s your prediction? Drop a 🐴 (close enough) for early spring or ❄️ for more winter!

Exciting News!

Sunshine Horses is thrilled to announce the completion of a major renovation project in our Gelding Barn! This project included the installation of a fully accessible handicap bathroom, ensuring greater access for individuals with disabilities.

A huge thank you to Dave Beck Remodeling for their dedication to safety throughout the process, prioritizing the well-being of our workers, horses, and volunteers. We are also incredibly grateful for the generous support that made this project possible, including an Agritourism Grant from the Onondaga County Department of Planning, (County Executive Ryan McMahon) as well as very generous donations from Rocco and Dianna Grosso (from their wedding—congratulations!) and WET Electric for providing the wheelchair accessible sink.

This renovation helps us fulfill our mission of making our farm accessible to everyone, including the elderly and those with disabilities. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this important project! (Mike Tebo, Cindy Albro, Mary Minkoff, Tom Bard, and all of our volunteers!)

Crossing Paths Between Volunteering and Adopting Horses!

For over a decade, Ariat International has sponsored the EQUUS Foundation Champions program which aims to stimulate and reward volunteerism on behalf of horses. Thanks to the generosity of Ariat, ten equine charities each receive a $500 grant based on their charity's volunteer participation during the past year, and each quarter, five deserving volunteers at equine charities across the United States receive an Ariat Gift Card, valued at $270, for a pair of Ariat Boots.

The EQUUS Foundation would like to congratulate the individual winners for the fourth quarter of 2024: Christina Ecklund, Jennifer Elder, Megan Grimes, Penny Schneider, and Julie Suehr. The EQUUS Foundation is grateful for volunteers like these who dedicate their time to keeping horses safe and healthy and aiding the charities and horses that serve people in need.
Jennifer Elder with Little Joe

Jennifer Elder grew up riding and started volunteering in high school at Sunshine Horses as a way to spend more time with horses. When not volunteering, Elder works as a chemist in central NY. "I’ve enjoyed getting to know and helping to care for many wonderful rescue horses alongside a great team of volunteers," said Elder.

Helloo? Is anyone out there looking to adopt a horse for either themself or as a companion for someone they already have? Asking for a friend - or two!

We had a wonderful time bringing Sonny & Strawberry to Park Terrace at Radisson for a visit with their residents. It was a beautiful day and our ambassadors loved meeting these wonderful folks! One resident said to Sonny "my husband isn't around so you can kiss my hand"....so sweet! Thank you Tess Kenney for setting this up for us! #helpinghorseshelpingpeople

We have had some gorgeous weather for trail riding lately. Lori/Suzy Q and Marisa/Wally spent some time exploring the trails! #adoptdontshop

Another very productive night with our horses and schoolers!

Beautiful alumni Amazida out for a stroll recently. Living his best life! We are so happy to see the successes of our adopted horses! Thank you for this update! #adoptdontshop #helpinghorseshelpingpeople #horses #drivinghorses #alumni

The barn was closed up for the night, and everyone was tucked in their stalls... and then the shenanigans began! Our mischievous herd always finds a way to make the night lively. It's moments like these that remind us of the joy and personality each of our horses brings to Sunshine Horses. #SunshineHorses #NightTimeFun #HorseShenanigans #SupportOurHorses #Donate #Volunteer

Here's a bird's eye view of our gorgeous farm, the heart of Sunshine Horses. This stunning property serves as a forever home for our beloved horses, and it thrives thanks to the tireless efforts of our amazing volunteers and the generous donations we receive. We couldn't do it without you. Thank you to everyone for your time, dedication, and support in making our home so beautiful and nurturing for our horses! Visit us at sunshinehorses.org to learn more about how you can get involved or make a donation. (video by: Thomas Housel - Galaxy Media Partners) #volunteer #Donate #foreverhome
