In ten years as an organization we have reached out and helped hundreds, if not thousands, of horses and other equines by meeting our challenges head-on. Since 2014, Montana Horse Sanctuary placed 6 residents in adoptive homes. Adoptions are always a reason to celebrate. Penny went to her forever home August 27, 2014, and is enjoying retirement very much! Donkeys, Salley and Jazz, journeyed to their adoptive home April 9. They graze on pasture, hang out in a barn built just for them, and take walks with their human family. Lenni, adopted in May, is helping his owner, a 4-H leader, teach youngsters how to ride and care for horses. Holly is enjoying semi-retirement with light rides and grandkid love. The gate is always open if a horse can't stay with its adopter. Roxanne was adopted this year by a kind gentleman. After several weeks he decided he is simply too old to ride a 6-year-old horse. He made the very difficult decision of returning her to the Sanctuary. We are able and willing to take a horse back should the need arise. Our adoption contract requires an adopter to return a horse, rather than selling or giving it away. It takes an adopter time to really get to know their horse and although we carefully screen our adopters and have them ride with the trainer who trained the horse, there are always some unknowns. We are glad that none of our past residents ever have to fall through the cracks again. They have a safety net here and that's an accomplishment in itself. 0 0 Helping law enforcement agencies care for confiscated equines:We are currently providing support to Sheriff Ludwig in Broadwater County. They seized 25 horses and 1 donkey in 2014. We are helping them with finding and screening adopters. 1611 525 Helped law enforcement and horse howners feed 36 horses in three Montana counties via our hay grant program. The Sanctuary helped horse owners advance their horsemanship skills at a workshop in Great Falls. 4569 955 Expenses for rehabilitation and restitution funds received. 4569 955 76302 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 3 3 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 X X JANE HEATH 4062645300 12990 HIGHWAY 200 SIMMS MT 59477 X JANE HEATH PRESIDENT 30.00 X X 0 0 0 BRENDA YORK VICE-PRESIDENT 2.00 X X 0 0 0 SHANNA CHISM SECRETARY 2.00 X X 0 0 0 VIC ANDERSEN TREASURER 30.00 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 118709 7365 118709 RESTITUTION 900099 955 955 WORKSHOPS/MISC 900099 525 525 ADOPTION FEES 900099 200 200 1680 17 17 3655 2684 971 971 121377 2651 0 17 676 676 2763 2763 1765 1765 2160 864 1296 4253 3453 800 16431 16431 6916 6916 -122 -122 SHELTER & FEED 26978 26978 REPAIRS 7503 7503 FUEL 4006 4006 WORKSHOPS/PROGRAMS 1611 1611 4767 3458 134 1175 79707 76302 134 3271 6609 9950 41016 55105 1188 1188 1035243 51785 990374 983458 0 704 1039187 1050405 313 467 397828 367222 398141 367689 X 605941 646168 35105 36548 641046 682716 1039187 1050405 41670 0 X 0 0 0 X 179213 187603 174608 110576 120389 772389 1737 971 2708 179213 187603 174608 112313 121360 775097 0 0 0 775097 17 17 17 17 179213 187603 174608 112313 121377 775114 1.00000 1.00000 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 964733 964733 70510 51785 18725 983458 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 2 Vic Andersen, Treasurer and Jane Heath, President are husband and wife.
