Drive past Ivy Hill Therapeutic Equestrian Center within the next few weeks and you will notice a big change. New fencing is being installed in our big pasture, stall run-out paddocks, the outdoor show ring and side pasture. The new fencing has been made possible through the donation of PVC horse fencing from Merck & Co. and a grant from The Longacre Family Charitable Fund. The grant from the Longacre Family Charitable Fund will cover the majority of the cost of replacing the fencing.
The current fencing will be replaced with electric fencing instead of the post and rail fencing already in place. The donated PVC horse fencing will replace the outdoor show ring fence and one of the side pastures. Electric fencing will prevent our horses from pushing out boards and escaping from their pastures. Currently, our program is using eleven program horses to provide our therapeutic horsemanship programs.
The Longacre Family Charitable Fund was originally established in 2001 as an expression of the family's common vision of being aware of the responsibility they have to share their success and blessings with others. The fund's goals are: to support organizations that have a positive impact on the world, to support events/activities which have value, to support Christian schools and other Christian organizations and ultimately to make a difference.
Thank you Merck & Co. and The Longacre Family Charitable Fund!!
