Hello everyone,
Thanks so much for your birthday wishes. I can only say, as life goes on,
I'd rather have birthdays than the alternative - LOL!!!
My computer keeps shutting down, but I wanted to say that even though this
is a happy day, there have been many challenges lately.
We are in the middle of involvement in an investigation involving an ASAP
horse who, currently, is in acceptable condition, but this ASAP horse has
been in a turnout with a dead horse, covered up by a tarp, who has been
there much of the winter. We are working with local sheriff's departments
and humane societies to assist in removal of the ASAP horse from this
adopter's property. We also have been working on a Crawford County case which has, sadly,
resulted in three dead horses. There is so much more I want to say about
this case, but will not due to circumstances. The important thing is that
all of you know that lack of mans to care for horses was not a factor in
their deaths. Human beings ...... I am speechless. Meanwhile we have not heard on the status of our emergency hay grant, and
my last spring plea, offering fly masks or fly spray for any donation over
$25 has resulted in ZERO donations. Thanks to Lynette for agreeing to get
items together for the tack sale this weekend in La Crosse - we will hope
for good sales for this. To top it all off, a bill just arrived for $169.00 to renew our web site
for another year. This is not in our budget at this time so hoping for
donations in any amount to help us renew. Just got a call on another Amish horse needing a home this spring - sounds
like she is 16 and has been with Amish for many years.....she is slowing
up and needs somewhere to go....let me know if you are interested. Happy spring!
