5 FREEDOMS RESCUE FOUNDER BEV WILSON
The summer of 2021 was an extremely dry one for the province of Alberta, and as a result hay prices went up dramatically.
5 Freedoms was paying $70 for a big round bale of hay and are now having to pay $220.
Currently their weekly hay bill is $5,000.
In addition to the 90 equines in their care, Bev is fielding calls from those needing to relinquish their horses because of the high cost of hay.
DONATIONS FOR HAY DESPERATELY NEEDED
