Help with tornado recovery at equestrian center

Hi, my name is Lisa Luton-Hodges and I’m fundraising for our equestrian center tornado recovery. So many people have reached out to ask how they could support or help our recovery from the tornado that hit our farm. Giving to our Go Fund Me fundraiser ensures that Luton Training Center receives your contributions directly and can continue operations.

On the evening of Thursday, August 24, 2023 our farm suffered a direct hit from a EF2 tornado. Our hay/storage barn was completely destroyed, and most of our paddock area suffered significant damage or was destroyed. Two of our horses, Lacey and Chili, were injured in the storm. Their survival is a miracle!

Your support will be used to treat the horses, rebuild paddocks, and other fencing, clear debris to make the paddock areas safe again, and create a new storage space lost with the destruction of the hay barn. The hay barn was uninsurable due to previous fire damage 20 years ago.

For 20 years, we have happily supported young equestrians in Williamston and surrounding communities. I have volunteered my time to coach many middle school and high school equestrian teams throughout the last 20 years . Your support is appreciated during this difficult time.
