It has been announced that McCauley Bros. Feed is generously stepping up to give 100 of the Standardbred Retirement Foundation's horses warm bellies for the winter with their feed bucket challenge match.

For every dollar donated McCauley's will match it with their quality feed up to $7,000. The challenge will end on Sunday, November 4 at midnight.

A pound of grain averages about $.75 to $1.25. For the healthy SRF horse during the winter months, about seven pounds per day is needed. This does not include hay, which should be free choice for them, especially during the cold season. Donations in any amount are very much appreciated and are tax-deductible.

This is one of the most trying times in SRF's 29 year history, as it currently has 403 horses under its expense and care. To help the SRF meet the much needed challenge gift from McCauley's Feed, a company that has supported SRF for nearly 20 years already, please call 609-738-3255, email [email protected], or visit adoptahorse.org or the SRF’s Facebook page.

The SRF would like to sincerely thank McCauley Bros. Feed for all their wonderful support, as well as Reynolds Hay and Straw, which is the local distributor in the SRF’s area.
