RVHR is Expanding!
On August 1st 2008 RVHR leased an additional 50 acres to help the horses in need.  With 38 acres of pasture we have begun to fence in four 2 1/2 acres turn out pasture.  Each turn out area will have a 20x10 building constructed for shade for the horses.  28 acres will be used for what we need the most HAY.

  The last 12 acres are being logged once completed and cleared these will also be turned into turn out areas.

We are in great need of many items for the new area from haying equipment, fencing, wood building materials, seed and fertilizer.

Sponsor an Acre  

To prepare and hay an acre we estimate a cost of $250.00, with a yield of 75 to 100 bales in one cut which would bring the cost of hay to $3.33 to $2.50 per bale.
A second cut (weather permitting) $1.66 to $1.25
A third cut (weather permitting) $1.11 to $.83
Note: these amounts are the cost for weeding, seeding and fertilizing and are lower then normal because of our discount from suppliers the cutting cost is not included.
