Materials Wish List

At RIDE we always have a need for:

feed and hay
wormer and medicinal supplies
tack, blankets, buckets, and brushes
pre-paid vet, farrer, dental services
training services
printing and business services
trucks and trailers
and CASH to help pay for all of the above!

Vet Assist Program:

RIDE always has horses in need, and cannot always utilize the services of one vet. As such, we are always looking for partnering veterinarians for our VET ASSIST program. Here is how it works-
RIDE volunteers identify good equine vets via referrals.
RIDE sets up an account with this vet for services and supplies.
Customers and people familiar with this vet may make "payments" to this account, which are recorded as donations and receipted on a monthly basis.
RIDE horses requiring care in this vet's service area now pre-paid...making a happy vet and a healthy horse!

RIDE of Rochester is a new MN Non-profit entity working on 501c3 Non-profit status.
