Oops – I learned my lesson this morning – scroll all the way down before acting! L The emaciated mare that is 1 of 3 horses we are picking up today that is said to be a retired barrel racer (she has been neglected more than once) is also on the Horse & Man list today – we’ve named her Noelle. Between them are two beautiful horses saved from euthanasia. Many thanks to Dawn for including Hollie and Noelle!

Hollie is today’s Horse and Man Gift Certificate horsey….

I find myself reaching out to you all again for help. I got the call this afternoon – three horses are going to be sized by AC tomorrow if we don’t take them. The ACO told me they have been rescued in the past and here they are needing help again. I’ll be darned if they are going to be put into another bad or iffy situation! There are 2 QH’s and a Morgan. They are ages 8, 12, and 13.

Please help by becoming a foster for one or more of these horses – be it a onetime donation or a commitment to make a monthly donation to help. If anyone can help please email me ASAP with “Holiday Trio” in the subject line. Let’s pull together and help these horses to have the same chance Hollie got. Hollie is doing well. Her teeth were done today and she is quite amazed with her “new” mouth.  We can’t help these horses without help from others. Donations are tax deductible and no amount is too small. All donations are appreciated. God bless and thank you.

“Look at what Auntie Sue Griesser made to help with my medical bills – a beautiful decorative Christmas table runner! Mommy Theresa brought it out and showed it to me and it looks so lovely!”

Minimum bid $25. Bid increments of $5. Please E-mail all bids to bhfer.melissa. Bidding ends 12-12-12.

“Happy bidding and good luck everyone!!”

Thank you – from Hollie!

Dr. Ryan was out to ultrasound Hollie this afternoon. She was a very cooperative girl as we expected she would be. The ultrasound showed scar tissue around her lungs – evidence of past issues (likely pneumonia/pleuritis). She does have a bit of a temperature today which we are monitoring.

Hollie has a good appetite and is drinking fine. I’ll try to update again tonight. There is so much to do and not enough daylight anymore!

“Hi – my name is Hollie! I’ve only been here a couple of days but I sure do like it! I have food, fresh water, shelter, a nice blanket for cool times, and an even thicker blanket for cold times. I get treats, lots of hugs, I get groomed, and I get warm mashes! There is a little mini named Peggy Sue in a paddock across from me that I’ve made friends with. She says I’m safe here and that I’ll never be forced to do anything again and she says I’ll never be hungry again!”

“I’ve had to pull buggies and I’ve carried people on my back almost all of my life. I did everything I was told to do and I tried hard to make the humans happy. But because I didn’t know any better – I didn’t realize how bad I was until I came here and started getting good care. When Pam came to where I was living I didn’t know I would be leaving with her. She asked my owner what my name was and he said I didn’t have one. I wrenched when he offered to hitch me up so he could show Pam how I work under harness. And then he offered to saddle and ride me. My body just isn’t up for that anymore but had I been told to do it I would have. Pam declined the offers and told him she just wanted to get me loaded and headed home. Home? I was afraid and curious at the same time! Once on the trailer Pam told me that I was going to a place where I’d be loved and properly cared for by many humans! She told me about my new human family and it sounded really good – I just couldn’t believe it! And she told me that I’d have an extended family from all over the place! It was a long trip but it was worth it. I don’t know how much longer I could have made the humans at my old home happy by working – it was just getting hard.“

“I admit that I do have aches and pains from old injuries and from just getting older I suppose. I didn’t know they could feel better until now. Yesterday a nice man took my shoes off and trimmed my feet. I was a bit scared but after I knew he was going to be gentle and not pull my legs in ways that would hurt I felt much better. And Dr. Ryan – he’s very kind and has easy hands. Everyone here has only touched me with kindness. The other horses here are all happy and it’s just a dream come true! I’m still feeling a bit poorly but Dr. Ryan is going to come back tomorrow with a machine to look at my lungs. I am so glad to be here – I feel very blessed. I am going to do everything I can to try to get better – I love life and now I just get to live it! Theresa has promised that humans won’t demand that I work again. Maybe someday I’ll want to carry a little one around on my back for just a bit – we’ll just have to wait and see. I’ve got a good home now and humans that love me and care about me – what a wonderful holiday season this is going to be! Thank you all so much!”

Sincerely,
Hollie
