Some of you may remember Joy? She is a Palomino mare that we took in from the July 2010 Naples case. She was pregnant and lost her baby due to dystocia – we almost lost Joy. It was horrible and I never want to experience anything like that again. Joy is doing great and her human mom adores her! This is Joy with her new best friend Jon Jon.

Penny had been pestering the grown up horses to run and play but none wanted to – she’s so funny to watch. On Saturday it was really great to see Penny and Roxy playing – Roxy volunteers on Saturdays with her dad. I think Roxy wore Penny out!

Genesis

Genesis is doing great.

Rosita.

Sunset is adorable. We are still looking for a home for her – she does not do well here with so much sun and the dust that blows off the lime rock road is horrible. Temps go up and her breathing goes up. Please spread the word on her and help us to find her a home. We thought she was only going to be here for a short time for rehab (which is done) but the home didn’t work out. She needs sponsors to help pay for her care. Sunset is a retired PMU mare that was forced to endure a horrible job so humans could benefit. Here is a link to a video about the PMU industry – you can see the kind of life she lived is just horrible (and she’s had many babies, I’m sure).

Lily trying to fly! Here is a link to a video of Bouie, Frodo, Lily, and Ebony playing “Tag – you’re it!” They are hysterical!

And here is Armani – as striking as ever! He’s a big boy and his human mom says “he is not only loved – he is adored!”

Sammi and Joy – Joy isn’t a baby anymore! These two are very lucky girls – they have a wonderful human mom that loves them very much! Here is a link to a video of them when Joy was just a couple of days old. [youtube http://youtube.com/w/?v=vrCu9m4XqKE] Enjoy!

And here is Hollie – all settle in at her new home. She is greatly missed here but it makes me feel really good knowing that she will be much more comfortable there – the heat here just did not agree with her. Her human mom says she’s a keeper and that her eyes are truly a pathway to her soul. I agree 100%! To think that her previous owners were still driving and riding her in the condition she was in before we picked her up is just sickening. We’ll update now and then on how she is doing. To everyone that cared about, and helped her, thank you.

Seeing the horses in their new homes, reading their updates, it just helps so much. There is a lot of heartbreak in what we do but the successes are so uplifting and they remind us that we do make a difference. While we can’t save them all we do our best and help as many as we can. And we are very blessed to have the opportunity to help the horses – and if we didn’t have the support from others it wouldn’t be possible.

I hope everyone had a great weekend. It’s been pretty busy here. I am behind on emails so please, if you have written to me and I haven’t responded, I apologize but I hope to get to them in the next couple of days. Thank you for caring and for your continued support! We are still in need of flymasks (double Velcro latch), flyspray, detangler, and a few other items. We are also looking for sponsors for hay – just $13.30 will sponsor a bale of hay. In this load of hay there are 41 bales in a ton. If we can get enough sponsors for a ton we will then get $10 off which would almost buy one more bale. Every bit helps! If anyone would like to help we would appreciate it. Donations are tax deductible and very much appreciated!
