FIELD FENCING - Please can you help us upgrade the posts, fences and gates in our paddocks to help keep our priceless ponies safe?  Much of it is now reaching the end of its useful life, and the larger horses are taking advantage by pushing through to get into fields we’re saving for Spring/Summer feed.  And clever ponies like Ruby and Acer are jumping over or sneaking under the fences to visit their friends in other fields!   Sadly we cannot access any grants for this type of project, so we’re hoping that we can get donations of materialsfrom local suppliers or in cash. We’ll be really grateful for any amount you can spare, thank you. You can donate on our Just Giving page here;

HORSES - We plan to continue to build up our horse team to enable us to offer more lessons and also some are now nearing retirement age and we will have to replace them. The cost can range from £3000 upwards.

HORSE SPONSORSHIP for the keep of our 20 horses @ £2000 each per annum, including horse shoes x £48 per pair

YARD EQUIPMENT WISH LIST.  We have a wish list on Amazon where you can buy items we need.  Head over to https://amzn.eu/axq9EZc and  choose something for us.  Thank you!

BUILDING MAINTENANCE.  This is ongoing - a bit like the Forth Road Bridge! We hope to paint the outside woodwork and doors this year - unless you know of a work team who would do it for us?

HORSE RUGS - approximately £1000.

SPECIALIST RIDER EQUIPMENT  This includes saddles, sheepskin rugs, reins, dapps stirrups, rainbow reins, ladder reins. Many of our riders have individual needs and these items can be extremely costly to purchase.

RUBBER MATTING FOR STABLES approximately £3000 to reduce our bedding costs. 

SOLAR PANELS. Again a major project.  Installing these on the main building roof would reduce our energy costs.

AND of course, core funding to help us on a day-to-day basis with salaries and bills etc

Your help, big or small, would be much appreciated by everyone at the Unicorn Centre.
