ANNUAL SPRING FUNDRAISER ***
It's getting to be that
time of the year again folks, and we need your support!!!
We sure hope you'll continue to support us...we truly need all
the support we can get to help save these horses that come into
our care!
We are currently collecting
items for the upcoming Spring Auction. You'll soon be doing
your Spring Cleaning, so hang onto those useful items that will
help to make us some money! Don't forget..."one person's
trash is another person's treasure". Horse and barn items
sell especially well!
To donate your items, or if
you have any questions, please contact "Gini" by phone at
520-825-8086 or by email at
giniacton@chancesminihorserescue.org
Not only are we looking for
items to auction off, but we also welcome your donations of time
and skills such as (but not limited to) customized artwork,
custom made silks, handmade jewelry etc. So it's not just new
or nice condition halters and such. We have had donations of
things totally unrelated to horses that have sold good too, so
open your heart, and lets get cleaning, and donating today!
Thank you to all that help
keep CMHR going, to help these needy little animals, "one horse
at a time".
You can
choose from thousands of great horse supply items at the
best prices and by entering the
Country-care
Code "CMHR" during checkout.

CMHR is a tax
exempt organization 501 (c) (3) with a public charity status:
170 (b) (1) (A) (vi).
We are glad you stopped by for a visit...we
ALWAYS welcome visitors! Unfortunately, with Miniature Horses becoming so popluar
these days, more and more are being bred, and sadly, there will be need for Rescue
operations to step in from time to time, to ensure that no minis will go without needed
homes or medical intervention.
That is where YOU come in. We as a
Rescue effort require many things, including monetary donations, donations of food,
grooming and care items to help in our efforts, and most importantly, VOLUNTEERS!!
LOTS of volunteers!
It is our hope, that as you tour our pages
here at CMHR, that you will find yourself in a position wanting to help, by donating
items/money, or by volunteering your time as a worker, a foster home, a prospective
adoptive home, a transporter, or by becoming a Director or Coordinator at either the State
or Regional level.
ALL inquiries and donations are welcome.
If you want to help, be sure you contact
CMHR immediately, so we can begin the process with you.
We welcome you to our web site.
 Presidents Message - 2009
This year has brought
many new and challenging situations for CMHR. We have seen an
increase in surrendered miniatures due to many areas across the
country experiencing droughts and shortages of hay. A steady
increase in the cost of feed and gasoline has also been a factor.
Some of these horses
are healthy but some have minor medical conditions that with proper
care, can live long and healthy lives. These little horses have a
strong need to be near humans and they are willing to trust even
after being neglected or mistreated. They love to be given a “job”
and will try with all their heart to do it the way you want them to.
Our wonderful
volunteers have trained some of these horses for a child’s pony,
cart training and ground manners training. Without these volunteers
and their countless hours spent with the rescues, the job of placing
these horses would be much more difficult.
The members, sponsors
and contributors have made it possible for these horses to be saved
and placed in forever homes. I wish to thank each of you for your
continued support of this needed organization.
Our fundraising
activities are under way all year long. I want to take this time to
say thank you for your donations of goods and cash to keep this
rescue operating to benefit the miniature horses.
We have been asked to
partner with Houston SPCA in recent months. We will be working with
them on their rescues involving miniatures should they need our
help.
Again, let me say a
big THANK YOU for all of the help that all of you have given to CMHR.
"Thank you for helping us one horse at a time"
