Winter Food For 80 + Chaar Horses
During the winter as food is scarce, we supplement the diet of the horses with extra grain and foliage. Each year, as the herd grows, so does the budget to secure food for the entire winter. The mares especially need support in order to grow healthy foals for the spring season.
Routine Veterinary Care, Vaccinations and Emergencies for 80 + Horses
Each horse is precious to us, and we regularly vaccinate, deworm and monitor the entire herd year round. The required supplies, as well as the time it takes to check each horse individually is one of our most significat day to day responsibilities.
Salaries for Local Horsemen, `Vet and Project Leader
Our local Kyrgz team is the heart of the operation and works tirelessly to protect our current horse herds year round. They work alongside the international volunteers to promote the project worldwide, and are hosts when visitors come to the farm in Kyrgyzstan and during the annual Chaar Expedition.
Purchase New Equipment for the Farm
We are always fundraising to purchase new machinery such as new trucks for transportation, and grain storage facilities.
Improved equipment is a huge priority for the project as it saves our small team precious time and money on required daily tasks.
Ongoing Costs For IT, Website & Marketing
We have ongoing operational costs such as online subscriptions, fees and website maintenance. As well as managing volunteers and social media content creation to spread the word about the Chaar association.
Infrastructure Upgrades as the Herd Grows
Our growing herd is in need of new paddocks to accommodate the maturing mares and stallions in the coming seasons. The farm is always being fixed and improved to be more comfortable for the horsemen, volunteers and horses.
