 HOW YOU CAN HELP

|||||||||
The saddest words a horse enthusiast can hear are: “There once were horses here.” Whether spoken of a dilapidated barn, or closed trail, or meadow pastures now tightly overgrown with tract houses, the loss of horse ‘habitat’ means the ultimate loss of horses from our lives and landscapes.
Horse enthusiasts who understand what’s truly at stake are the mainstay of the Bay Area Barns and Trails (BABTT). Bay Area Barns and Trails is an all-volunteer non-profit organization. Administrative, development and communications expenses are underwritten by the Board of Directors and the Advisory Board.
Our members represent the entire San Francisco Bay Area: twenty-five stables and businesses plus three hundred fifty families and individuals form the backbone of the organization.
Since its inception BABTT has donated over $98,000 for projects that are helping preserve equestrian trails, horse facilities, or at-risk open space. Our ability to continue supporting our grants program depends upon our success in receiving
Our ability to support future projects depends upon our success in receiving more financial support from private foundations and public funding sources, equestrian businesses, organizations and families.
We ask you become part of this effort to preserve all things equine in the Bay Area. Please act on your love of open lands, equines, and equestrian activities by contributing to help save a stall, a paddock, a trail, a pasture…
If you remain unclear about why you should help, consult with a local horse, perhaps your own. He will certainly give you clarity.
With your generous financial contribution, the Bay Area Barns and Trails will do more to help preserve our equestrian lifestyle – acre by acre – barn by barn – trail by trail!
Thank you for your generosity!
