Summertime Needs at Spring Lake
With summer arriving, the heat is up and the fence boards are coming down. Spring Lake Equestrian Center, TROT's official foster barn, is in need of some basic farm supplies to assist with general farm upkeep. Below is a list of things which we would appreciate through donations:
fence boards and poles
industrial fan for the barn aisle
golf cart/small farm utility vehicle
pine shavings
mowing services
All donations are tax-deductible. TROT also appreciates any volunteer handyman services. Spring Lake Equestrian Center is a 27 acre facility, so the more hands the better. If you are interested in donating your time, please contact Felicia at 352-424-9312.
General volunteer requests can be made to Shari at shari@tampatrot.org
