The owners of on old homestead close to Wollombi offered up acres of good country, with good dams, and complete with an old but sturdy shed for feed and equipment. Sometimes you wonder if you’ve witnessed a miracle. They were temporarily with some friends with limited arable land. Equine nutritionist Carol Layton from Balanced Equine designed a feeding plan for them. The money raised went straight to work: vet assessment, worming, and their overgrown, rough teeth were attended to. Ashleigh Power & Fiona Migan, local horsewomen, set up a Facebook fundraising page: “a call to all equine guardians.” Within days, there was $9000 to help the horses get the care they much needed and save them from being separated or even worse…sent to the knackery. They were old – all over 20 – and tough they’d had to be. When we found them, they were thin they’d had no care, no proper feed, for years. They were old Standardbreds – trotters - horses who apparently raced for a man who retired them to his place after racing and then died. When the fences went, and their acres burned, they came off the wild land into our hands.
They’d been living wild, on thousands of acres of bush. Quite suddenly, near Paynes Crossing in the Wollombi Valley, seven horses appeared. When fires raged through huge areas of New South Wales in Summer of 2019-20, bush, houses, barns, stables, sheds and fences burned. Money raised will go directly to their daily feeding program and general health requirements (worming, feet trimming, dentistry).
These boys are old and won't live forever, but we aim to give the 6 remaining horses a safe, secure and happy old age. You can find resources to help nonprofits improve their feedback practices here.This is a fundraiser to support the care of 7 neglected and abandoned horses, who roamed the Wollombi Valley, NSW, Australia for 15+ years, before the 2020 Black Summer bushfires revealed their existence and enabled their rescue by a team of amazing equine guardians. Feedback Labs has documented several studies which indicate that beyond achieving organizational goals, nonprofits that are attentive and responsive to concerns and ideas raised by beneficiaries establish stronger relationships with the people they serve, promote greater equity, and empower constituents in ways that can help to ensure better long-term outcomes. Our partnership with Feedback Labs and Candid, and other partners including Fund for Shared Insight, GlobalGiving, and Keystone Accountability, enables us to launch the first version of this beacon with Constituent Feedback information collected on Candid's site.įeedback practices have been shown to support better Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion outcomes, an essential area of assessment that we intend to further expand and develop in the future. Like the overall Encompass Rating System, the Culture & Community Beacon is designed to evolve as metrics are developed and ready for integration.
