A Truly Selfless Act

I received a letter from a dear friend that I have gotten to know over the
years through ASAP.

Her name is Lou, and she has been one of the most instrumental people in
ASAP's history, thanks to her many talents and her compassion.

She adopted Santa Fe Freight several years ago, followed by Johanna's
Flyin Star, then Silent Pursuit. Sandy, as he is affectionately named,
has been in many horse shows and taken many placings over the years. Jo
prefers driving to riding, and has been in many parades and has
volunteered by giving buggy and cart rides at the local church and youth
functions. He also was showcased with Lou at Super Night at Balmoral Park
this past September.

In lieu of a Christmas gift from her father this year, Lou chose to have
her father send a gifting of money to ASAP. I can only say that this is
most humbling, to think that someone would give up something for
themselves so that the horses at ASAP can eat.

Lou, we love you! I will post pictures when I get home from work so all
of you can see Lou and her horses in action at various events!

Let's not forget that Lou made all of the stall covers for the Midwest
Horse Fair in 2010 - her sewing talent is amazing and because of her our
presentation in Madison looked very very professional!

Hugs,
Sue
