Help Us Fund Phase 1 of a Critical Farm Drainage Project

Caring for a sanctuary herd requires much more than providing feed, veterinary care and a safe place to call home. It also means maintaining the land, buildings and infrastructure that allow our staff and volunteers to care for the horses every day.

Lucky Orphans Horse Rescue, is facing an important drainage project in a heavily used area of the farm.

After periods of rain, excess water creates difficult conditions and interferes with access to areas used for daily horse care. At a working horse sanctuary, proper drainage is essential. Our team must be able to move safely around the property, reach the horses, deliver feed and supplies and complete necessary farm work in all types of weather.

We have received a confirmed quote of $7,200 from Expanded Supply Products for Phase 1 of this project.

What Phase 1 Includes

The full $7,200 Phase 1 purchase includes:

120 feet of 24-inch ADS drainage pipe
One 48-inch knockout catch basin
One heavy-duty grate
Delivery to the farm

These are the essential materials we must secure before the drainage project can move forward.

Sponsor Phase 1 One Foot at a Time

To make this significant infrastructure expense easier to understand, we are dividing the $7,200 Phase 1 goal across the 120 feet of pipe.

Every $60 represents one foot of the Phase 1 purchase.

$30 sponsors half a foot
$60 sponsors one foot
$120 sponsors two feet
$300 sponsors five feet
$600 sponsors ten feet
$1,200 sponsors one complete 20-foot section

Donations of every size matter. You do not need to fund an entire foot to help move this project forward.

As contributions come in, we will share our progress and show our community how many of the 120 feet have been funded.

Why This Project Matters

Drainage may not be the most visible or exciting part of operating a horse sanctuary, but it affects nearly everything that happens here.

Our horses depend on people being able to reach them and care for them every day. Our staff and volunteers need reliable access to barns, paddocks and work areas.

Water that does not drain properly can create deep mud, unstable footing and difficult working conditions. It can slow down daily care, make it harder to move feed and supplies and place additional strain on the people responsible for caring for the herd.

Investing in proper drainage will help protect the property and create a safer, more functional environment for our horses, staff, volunteers and visitors.

This project is not cosmetic. It is a practical and necessary investment in the farm that supports our mission every day.

This Campaign Fully Funds Phase 1

We want our donors to understand exactly what this campaign will—and will not—cover.

The $7,200 campaign goal fully funds Phase 1, including the pipe, catch basin, grate and delivery.

Once Phase 1 is funded and these essential materials are secured, the project will move into Phase 2.

Phase 2 will include the stone required for installation. We are currently determining the exact amount and cost of stone needed.

We are separating the project into phases so we can provide our supporters with clear and accurate fundraising goals rather than estimating expenses before the necessary quotes are confirmed.

Any contributions received above the final Phase 1 invoice will be applied directly to Phase 2 and other expenses related to completing this drainage project.

Help Us Reach All 120 Feet

Lucky Orphans Horse Rescue provides lifelong sanctuary to horses while creating opportunities for people to experience the healing power of the herd through Hudson Valley Horse Park.

Our mission is People Helping Horses Heal People, but that mission is only possible when we also maintain the physical farm that supports it.

We are asking our community to help us fund all 120 feet of Phase 1.

You can help by:

Making a donation of any amount
Sponsoring one or more feet
Sharing this campaign with friends and family
Asking your employer or business to sponsor a 20-foot section
Creating a personal fundraising page to help us reach the goal

Every foot funded brings us closer to purchasing these essential materials and beginning the drainage work.

Thank You for Standing With Our Herd

Projects like this are possible because people choose to invest in the long-term care and sustainability of our sanctuary.

Your donation will help us purchase the materials needed for Phase 1 and move us closer to a drier, safer and more functional farm.

Please sponsor a foot, contribute what you can and share this campaign.

Together, we can fund all 120 feet.
