I want to start by wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Wow, what a year we have had! I am humbled by all of the support SIS has received this past year. From monetary support, tack and horse items, feed, horses, a truck and a New Ranch! All of us at SIS feel extremely blessed. Thank you so very much!
As I look over 2023, I see how much we have grown. We are serving over 45 heroes a week! This year alone we have served over 375 heroes and we sent 17 heroes to Wyoming. Our herd of horses is now at 28 (CA & TX) and we have 3 steer. Included in that number are the 7 rescued colts & fillies. What a beautiful opportunity we had to adopt these beautiful horses and bring them to our new ranch in Descanso, to the Circle T. Thank you to the Indy 68 Foundation for facilitating their adoption and to the McBeth Foundation for covering a majority of their transportation costs. The colts & fillies are thriving and we are learning so much. Thank you also to Pete Spates for imparting his immense knowledge and teaching us all about colt starting. We are so very grateful to everyone involved.
As I look to 2024, I am excited for our continued growth and new opportunities to serve our Heroes and Horses. In the coming months I will be sharing my vision for new programs along with our growth plan.
If you thought this year was filled with extraordinary growth just wait until next year!
I want to thank you so very much for your continued support of our Heroes and Horses. It is because of you that we are able to continue our mission of combating the suicide rates of our veterans, active duty military and first responders. It is because of your generosity that we are saving lives, one ride at a time.
As we close out 2023, please consider a last minute tax deductible donation to help us save lives.
From our SIS family to yours, thank you for joining us on this incredible journey.
Hugs,
Tammy
