Thank you Pat B. for your continued sponsorship of Pip’s care!  Pat has supported Pip for several years, and his generosity has helped LOARC tremendously.  Historically, the cost to support a horse was $7,000 per year, but thanks to experienced personnel and improved barn management we have reduced that to $5,000. Thanks again, Pat!
