3 Ways to Help Horse Play

From Those Wacky Folks at Horse Play -3 of the many ways to help

1. Comment and rate our video on youtube - Horse Play is participating in a contest for $1000 which ends May 10, 2009 - you can help us win - just watch our video
Horse Play - Saving Horses From Slaughter

then rate it and comment on it - can be done more than once, too - you will have to sign up for a youtube account tho - but it's really quick and free too!


2. Sponsor the crazy horse lady from Saunderstown, RI - On May 16, 2009, it’s “2-Legs For 4-Legs”. Deidre Sharp, founder and President of Horse Play,will walk across Rhode Island (from the RISPCA in East Providence to Horse Play in Saunderstown, about 35 miles) to raise awareness and funds for Horse Play and the RISPCA / Marvin Fund - How many 48 yr old women out there would walk 30+ miles in one day for animals? Crazy huh? Well, it will happen on May 16 and Horse Play will donate a good portion of whatever amount is raised to the Marvin Fund at the RISPCA. Right now our facility is full (19 equines) We are forced to put horses on our “waiting list” but how long can they wait? We receive at least 3-4 calls a week and 5-6 emails from people needing help.


Horse Play is including the RISPCA in this endeavour as they have a fund – the Marvin Fund – which assists owners in difficult situations and helps them to keep their beloved pets – horses included. Please consider sponsoring Deidre on this walk on Saturday May 16!! Any amount will be appreciated - $1, $5 any amount - 50 people donating $5 each is $250! and it’s tax-deductible.
You can make a donation by visiting our Firstgiving page: http://www.firstgiving.com/horseplayri.
You can donate online with a credit card. All donations are secure and sent directly to Horse Play by Firstgiving, who will email you a printable record of your donation, or you can just mail a check made out to Horse Play, 143 Gilbert Stuart Road, Saunderstown, RI 02874 or ee also use Paypal, our Paypal account is horseplayri@msn.com - just make a note that it’s a donation towards the 2-Legs for 4-Legs - Walk Across RI.
