We need your help! HPAF receives no state or federal funding and exists only through donations. The amount of neglected horses and horses whose owners can no longer afford to feed them has exploded recently and your donations make it possible for HPAF to continue the work of protecting and saving horses.

No donation is too small. Please help us help the horses.

On The Hop Available for Adoption

On The Hop, November 2009                     On The Hop, April, 2010

Volunteers needed at the Micanopy Farm.
Volunteers are needed to help with feeding, grooming and turning out the horses each morning (7 days a week) from 8am to noon. Also for afternoon feeding from 4pm to 6:30 pm. Please call Julie at the office to be put on the schedule.

The web site is current!
Please check the horses for adoption pages as many new horses have been added. There are no adoption fees except where noted by the horses listing. Yes we need your donations, HPAF exists only because of the wonderful, caring people who contribute and allow us to help horses in need. But adoptive homes are needed for the horses currently at the farm so we can help more horses.

Privately owned horses needing homes
There are so many privately owned horses desperately needing immediate homes that is has been very difficult to keep up with them. We are listing the privately owned horses on www.extendedpaws.com. Please go to the site to view those horses. The owners of these horses have asked HPAF for help in screening potential adopters. If you are interested in one of the privately owned horses please email us your adoption application and pictures of your place or where the horse will live. Once we receive your application we will put you in contact with the owner of the horse.

If you would like to provide feed or hay for the horses , orchard & alfalfa hay, both regular and pasture bales, from Larsen Farms (352-732-4445) or Quality Hay (352-529-0888) in Williston are used to provide high quality free choice hay. We use 14 bags of Purina Ultium Growth , 6 bags of Purina Enrich 12 (not 32 anymore) , 20 bags of Purina Equine Senior and 3 containers of Purina 12:12 Free Balance (loose) per week. Chiefland Farm Supply is our Purina dealer (352-493-4294). Also used are 35 bags of Stampede Brand Timothy and Alfalfa cubes and 3 bags of Equi-Jewel Rice Bran Pellets per week.

Springtime Joint Health, Cetyl M, Finish line U-7 or Gastrix, Redmond Salt (Green & Growing), Bute powder and MSM are used for a number of the horses.

There has been so much paperwork involved in these cases and on adoptions that we have a great need for printer ink 56 black (most), 98 black & HP 93,95 color, and stamps.

Thank You

A very special thank you to board member Kim Heath and the HPAF staff for all of their hard work over the last months. Kim has worked non stop and since before Thanksgiving getting feed to horses in need and finding homes for countless horses.  The HPAF staff has been working extra hard with so many extra horses on top of the excellent job they already do. Thank you to Lisa, Sharon, Julie, and Robert for all that they do for the horses. None of these rescues would be possible without them.
