While Christmas shopping, I try to stay mindful of those in need. I am making plans now on how to be of help on Giving Tuesday and throughout this holiday season. There are horses, companion and barn animals and humans that are irreplaceable in their contributions to thoroughbred horse racing. Some of those animals and people could use our help. If you are looking for some great 501(c)(3) organizations, Thoroughbred U has some quick links.

Equine Voices Rescue and Sanctuary has a lovely shop and charity in Tubac, AZ.
