Donate tack and horse-related items for a good cause

Have you been cleaning out your tack room this summer? Wondering what to do with the items that you no longer need?

Mane Stream, the facility in Oldwick dedicated to adaptive horsemanship and equine assisted therapies, is seeking donations of new and gently used tack or horse-related items for its Oct 28 Fall Tack Sale.

The facility’s special needs participants, horse and programs benefit from the proceeds. Items to be donated can include bridles, saddles, blankets, tack boxes, and outgrown boots, breeches and jackets. Horsey jewelry, models or knick-knacks, may be dropped off during business hours at the farm at 83 Old Turnpike Rd.

Mane Stream’s mission is to improve the quality of life for individuals with physical, developmental, emotional and medical challenges through a diverse program of equine assisted activities, therapy and educational initiatives. Equine-assisted programs include “Take the Reins” for Veterans and “Horses for Healing” for those living with, recovering from and living life after cancer.

If you would like to make a donation or have any questions, please contact Holland Kochanski at holland@manestreamnj.org, 908-439-9636 or visit the website at  www.ManeStreamNJ.org
