We’re always grateful for any support at WCET. Below, you’ll find a few key areas where help is needed. If you’re able to lend a hand—whether with time, skills, or resources—we’d love to hear from you. Every bit of support makes a meaningful difference to the lives of our horses.

HOW TO HELP:

Volunteer Your Time

  • Work with the Horses: Spend time with the horses at our facility, helping them adjust and progress through schooling and rehabilitation. Your interaction helps them build confidence and trust as they prepare for new homes.
  • Assist with Daily Care: Help us care for the horses by assisting with feeding, grooming, and other essential tasks that keep them happy and healthy.
  • Support Schooling: If you have experience in horse schooling, your skills can be valuable in helping our horses transition smoothly into their new roles and lives.

Assist with Fundraising

  • Fundraising Events: Help us organize or assist with events that raise essential funds for the care of our horses. Whether it’s a charity auction, a community event, or an online campaign, your efforts will have a direct impact.
  • Organize an Event: You can also take the initiative by organizing an event in your local community or network to support WCET’s mission.

Donate Resources

  • Financial Donations: Your monetary contributions directly support the ongoing care, training, and rehabilitation of the horses in our program.
  • Donate Equipment: We welcome donations of new or gently used items such as grooming tools, tack, fly masks, and other equipment. Every bit helps us provide better care for our horses.
  • Sponsor a Stable: Help us provide a safe, comfortable home for a horse in training or recovery. By sponsoring a stable, you directly support daily care, feed, and shelter for an equine in need.

Other Ways to Help

  • Spread Awareness: Share our mission with friends, family, and social media networks. The more people know about WCET, the more support we can gather for our horses.
  • Corporate Partnerships: If your company or organization is looking for a way to give back, consider partnering with us for donations, sponsorships, or event collaborations.
  • In-Kind Services: If you have a skill that can be of service—such as photography, web design, or marketing—donating your expertise is a wonderful way to contribute to our cause.

Every contribution, no matter the size, helps WCET provide a brighter future for ex-racehorses. Your support ensures these horses get the care and attention they deserve as they transition into their new lives.
