TATER & SPUDS CLUB

Spuds only job at BEAMING is to walk proudly around our arena each day, carrying special friends on his back. The only thing Spuds and his stablemates expect for a hard day’s work is some hay, a scoop of grain, and an occasional vet and farrier visit. On average, those costs run a mere $8.34 a day, the approximate cost of going out to lunch on any given day.

Please consider sponsoring Spuds, and his stablemates, by joining the Spuds’ Fan Club by pledging $8.34 (or more) a month, or $100 a year. For your convenience, BEAMING accepts donations with Credit Cards or Google Pay. Just select the option “Make this a monthly donation” and your card will be charged each month for the amount you specify. Monthly membership will continue for as long as you wish; you can change or cancel a recurring donation anytime in your Square account settings. Go to the bottom of the receipt you received via e-mail and click “Manage Preferences”
