We’re calling this precious mare, Niña. She settled in well overnight and made new friends from a couple of fence lines away. Yesterday, she made new human friends who really liked her.

Gail held Niña while Dr. Julia did an exam on her and she was very cooperative. She’s underweight, has a heart murmur, her temperature was a bit low, and her teeth need attention by Dr. Bess. Niña also has a couple of summer sores that we’ve started treating and we’re so very thankful that we have a pair of Silver Whinnys (SoxForHorses) on hand that fit her. Dr. Julia estimates her to be at least 30 years young. We will know more when the blood test results come back, hopefully, tomorrow.

Many thanks to those who have donated to help this grand older gal! She’s going to need ongoing support so if you’re interested in signing up to become a monthly sponsor for her (no matter what the amount is – lots of little bits add up to make good things happen), you may do so here on our website.

You can also forward a donation via PayPalMe. If donating via PayPal, please designate your contribution to ‘Niña.’ If you select the tab, ‘Send Money to Friends or Family,’ no fees will be deducted from your contribution. All donations are tax deductible and no amount is ever too small.

Thank you, all, so very much!

LadyBug is feeling much better and is back out in her paddock – she’s much happier. I think our prayers have been answered!

We do need help from our village, however.

Would anyone like to help us with LadyBug’s vet bills? There was an emergency call, she had to be scoped because she was unable to be tubed and she was administered IV fluids and antibiotics. Not only did she colic, when she was scoped, the vet discovered an infection in her esophagus. The total cost of LadyBug’s veterinary fees is $600.

We also need to raise funds for a ton of hay at a cost of $600 plus $500 in fees for the farrier who is scheduled to come on Monday.

We are thrilled to announce that a wonderful friend and supporter has come forth to offer a MATCH GAME to assist with LadyBug’s veterinary fees as well as our upcoming Hay Run. All donations up to $300 will be matched dollar for dollar. If you would like to participate in the Match Game, there are many ways in which to contribute. You may forward your contribution via our PayPal address: bhfer@earthlink.net, via the DONATE page here on our website, or via PayPal Me. If donating via PayPal, please designate your donation to either ‘LadyBug’ or ‘Hay.’ If you select the tab, ‘Send Money to Friends or Family,’ no fees will be deducted from your contribution. All contributions are tax deductible and no donation is ever considered as being too small.

Thank you so very much for your love and support!
