Hi, krb!
Where have you looked so far, please?
Thanks!
Hello k:
If you mean, where can you get FREE money and/or land to start this business, you're not going to find any... Even if this was the GREATEST idea since sliced bread, ain't NOBODY going to shell out bucks to get you started.
That just ain't the way the world works..

Hi, ex!
Oh, I don't know about that! In my section of the woods in the Midwest, it might be possible for someone to donate space for such a thing, even if it weren't going to be for some sort of tax deduction.
I can find people who'll be glad to lend me space for any number of business activities.
Thanks!
Hello Clough:
I don't disagree. In fact, if someone had the experience, contacts, and financing, and ALL they needed was some land, THAT could be a successful business.
However, in my view, MOST of the people asking such questions here have NOTHING - NO experience, NO money, and NO idea of what they are considering... All they have is a fantasy.
THOSE are the people who I'm addressing... Now, I don't know which category the OP falls into... But, I have a sneaking hunch the OP is more a dreamer than a businessperson.

Hi, excon!
I do agree with you about that concerning a lot of the posters. I just want to give them the benefit of the doubt before making some sort of judgment.
A period allowed for discovery may be necessary for some of the folks that post here...
Thanks!
First a horse resue is a wonder and great thing. You would have a professional grant writer review and see if they can find any government offers for any animial rights grants,
You would need to form a non profit corporation to work though, using your years of experience with horses and animal you would also make contacts and ask for assitance though groups like PETA and the Humane Society.
Then you contcact 100's of businesses, Walmart, Sears, look for horse groups, saddle manufactors, feed groups and more.
I am also looking for funding for a horse rescue farm for the day to day operation.
I have 200 + acres and 19 outbuildings at my ranch in Wisconsin. Easy on easy off interstate access.
I am in the process of forming a non-profit corp. to operated the rescue ranch.
Perhaps we could work together.
Wow. I lived in Wyoming before, but never been to Wisconsin=) I have started to go back to school to try to get into Physical Therapy school, although the horse rescue is what I really want. Have you had any luck finding funding? One of my ideas if I could ever get it off the ground is that I know a country singer- Jason Michael Carroll who has just recently gotten big. I am pretty sure he would do a benefit concert. I think fundraising, private, corporate donations are good ways to start.
