We are pleased to officially notify everyone that we will be demonstrating at the Illinois Horse Fair March 5-6. Michelle and Christian Daniels will join us, and maybe one more adopter from Indiana. We have graciously been gifted four stalls to use. We currently need one more stall space for tack, at the rate of $90.
We had the vet out last week to draw coggins for Interstate Health Certificates. I am not sure what the bill will be but I am sure it is $100.
In addition, we have two night's motel to pay for at the Pear Tree Inn. We got this motel because it is one of the most inexpensive motels in the area at a rate of $55 a night plus tax. So we are looking at another $110 or more there.
Diesel and transportation for horses is another thing we are hoping for assistance with. We are a good 350 miles or more from Springfield. Our truck gets about 20 mpg highway pulling our trailer........at $2.79 a gallon - x both ways = expensive if we do the math....
We will ask the industry for support - let's keep our fingers crossed as we know how badly the harness racing industry needs positive exposure to keep harness racing alive!
