The Unwanted Horse Coalition (UHC) has received a generous donation of $102 from 11-year-old supporter Sophia Hatto.

Earlier this month, Hatto set up a lemonade stand and bake sale to raise money for the UHC. A rider herself, Hatto comes from a family of horsemen and women.

“Recently I have been looking into volunteering at a horse rescue and I learned about you through a book, and I thought that helping you would be a way to help horses in need,” she said. “I hope that this money, although it isn’t that much, can help in some way.”

Dagmar Caramello, UHC director, said, “The UHC is thrilled that such a young member of the equine community has taken this sort of initiative and encourages other members of the equine industry to do the same. We greatly appreciate Sophia’s contribution and her commitment to the UHC’s mission
