Holiday Save Racking Mare

11/25/12
We went on faith and prayer that needed help for this mare would come – we were very blessed that Pam (transporter) was able to pick her up on her way back from a haul up north. Pam said the owner offered to hitch the mare up to show how she drives or to saddle her up to ride her – even in this condition. How sad! Pam politely declined and loaded the mare up. The mare is said to be 10 years old but she’s older, I’m sure.

She is grossly underweight – no fat or muscle which is hard to see because she does have a winter coat which is a good thing although I imagine she has still had some pretty cold nights with an empty tummy. Her feet are long and she is still wearing shoes. Pam stopped to put a stable blanket on the mare and she is comfortably munching on hay for the trip to the rescue.

It’s hard to see how thin she is because of her color and the shadows in the trailer.

We need donations to help with this mare that desperately needed to land in a good place. We need help with costs for vetting and transport. No amount is too small and donations are tax deductible. Donations can be made via our website or PayPal or snail mail. We’re estimating at least $500 for the first month and another $300 after for at least 6 months. If you send a donation please mark it for our “2012 Holiday Save”. This mare haunted me for many days and nights this past week. I’m very glad she is now safe. Let’s pray that she can recover and live a happy long life.

I know this is a bad time of the year. Donations are already down and the economy is taking a toll. If Rosita had not found a home we would not have been able to take this mare. But God has a way of helping things to work out and we really did take a giant leap that help would come. We are praying that if many people send even $5 it will all add up to enough to cover her expenses. Please share this email with family and friends – perhaps someone would like to help. Help us to make a difference for this mare. God bless and thank you!

Sincerely,
