The generosity of the horse-loving community allows the MSSPA to care for every equine arriving at River Road Farm.
If you would like to share your kindness with the herd through a gift of supplies, please take a look at our most needed items, as well as the variety of ways to make your gift.
Gifts of Supplies
New Items in Need:
The MSSPA has a regularly updated Amazon Wish List. The items on this list are needed and used frequently. You can have the items shipped directly to the farm. Or, have them shipped to you and visit the farm with your special delivery!
The MSSPA also gratefully accepts gift cards to local supply stores, which allow us to purchase the items when need when they are needed! Gift card suggestions include: Tractor Supply Company, Home Depot, Lowe’s, Blue Seal Feeds (Windham), Walmart, Target, Hannaford, and Amazon.
If you are interested in purchasing something more specific, please call the farm for ideas at 207-892-3040. We are often in need of Soft Ride Boots, new lumber for fence repair, paint, and other farm items.
Gently Used Items:
Hoses have a lot of baggage! We are happy to accept any of your gently used and cleaned horse-related equipment such as saddles, blankets, and other tack.
For safety and liability reasons, the MSSPA cannot accept riding helmets, open or expired grain, supplements, and/or medication. Thank you!
What do we do with donated items?
First and foremost, the MSSPA tries to put any donated item into use for our current herd. If the MSSPA cannot use an item, we offer the items for sale to the public through our on-site, volunteer-run used tack shop! All sale proceeds are used for the benefit of the horses at the MSSPA. Treasure’s Tack Shack offers horse owners an assortment of gently used horse supplies available for sale and is open Wednesdays and Saturdays from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm.
How do I donate?
Any items, new or gently used, can be dropped off at the farm, located at 279 River Road, Windham, ME 04062, any day of the week between 8:00 am – 4:00 pm. Please bring your items to the Visitor’s Center located at the front of the property.
For larger deliveries, such as hay, please contact the MSSPA first to make arrangements.
It is very helpful to have your contact information so that we can properly acknowledge your donation and provide you with a tax receipt. Forms are available in the vestibule of the Visitor’s Center, OR you can quickly complete an online form before you drop off the items.
