Give what the barn can use

Equipment, supplies, materials and professional services keep sessions free when they match a real need. Tell us what you can offer and we will say yes, not yet, or no within two business days.

What helps right now

We keep this list honest. If something is not on it, ask anyway and we will tell you whether it fits. Accepting something we cannot use costs more than saying no.

Program equipment

Helmets, grooming kits, lead ropes, halters, ground poles, cones and portable panels in good condition. All gear is checked before it is used with participants.

Materials and supplies

Printing, first aid supplies, weather layers for participants, and coffee for Heroes and Horses mornings.

Professional services

Bookkeeping, legal and insurance review, photography of the horses and the barn (never participants), web and design work, and veterinary or farrier help as R&R prepares to open.

Feed, hay and horse care: not yet

Saved by the Saddle has no horses in its care. The horses at the barn belong to Ocean View Stables, a separate private business, so we cannot accept feed, hay or horse care for them as gifts to the charity. We will say plainly when R&R opens and that changes.

How in-kind gifts are handled

Plain rules, so nobody is surprised later.

We confirm the need first

Every offer is matched against a real need before we accept it. If the answer is not yet, we will say when to ask again.

Receipts

You receive a written acknowledgment that describes what was given and the date. Tax rules do not allow us to put a dollar value on donated goods or services for you. Your own records and your tax advisor decide the value. Saved by the Saddle is a 501(c)(3) public charity, EIN 41-3846131.

Drop-off and delivery

By arrangement only. There are no drop-in visits, because sessions are private and the horses need routine.

Recognition

In-kind supporters are thanked in our news and, with your OK, on the sponsor page.

Who you will talk to

Zac Leyden, Chief Revenue Officer. [email protected] or (650) 763-2429.

Offer in-kind support

Describe what you can offer and when. We reply within two business days with a yes, a not yet, or a no, and we never ask for details about young people or participants.

The item or service, quantity, condition, and when it is available. If you have a value in mind, include it. We review every offer for fit and safety before accepting it, and we do not assign a value to donated goods.
Tick it if you would like to hear when programs open or events are added.

We reply within two business days, in writing.

Please note: we never ask partners to share information about young people or participants through this form.

Help build it properly.

Gifts fund free sessions, the training and safety work behind them, and the groundwork for a rescue program done right.
