Bring Your Horse To IL Horse Fair?

Is anyone available to bring a STB to demo with ASAP at the Illinois Horse
Fair? A last minute commitment has made two stalls available - we will
still be coming with Timesareachanging and Sidney Rain, but question is -
should Taser Gun also come along for the ride now that there is room at
the horse fair? Your input is needed!!!!
Email Sue at asapinc@mwt.net

Pony Cart + More For Sale

A former adopter of a Standardbred who now lives near us in De Soto has
asked me to post this on her behalf. For more information, email Sue at
asapinc@mwt.net or phone 608-792-5126 and I'll pass you along to the
person trying to sell it - thanks!

"We have a new large pony cart and harness forsale. Would you please post
this on your site, we really need to sell this as we don't have a pony
that fits it. Both are brand new never used. We are asking $450.00 for
both. The cart is a easy entry"

RC!

Remember the story of RC, the horse who was found in Vernon County, and
surrendered (gifted) to ASAP? You would think that a horse this emaciated
and in such poor condition would not have lived. Thanks to the many ASAP
volunteers, and his new adopter, he is THRIVING!

Thank you to Shannon and Andrea, who helped me respond to the call for
help for RC, and for transporting him to Shannon's barn.

Thank you to Dr. Jan Doelle, who assessed him and recommended a diet to
assist him in gaining weight.

Thank you to Lisa Judd, who fostered RC after his release from Shannon's
barn, and brought him along through good food and love.

Finally, thank you to Dr. Trish Meeks, who adopted RC and put another 200
pounds on the boy through wise use of hayleage and other supplements. RC
is now fat and sassy! ASAP couldn't have done it without all of you! Thank you!

ASAP received a very special surprise yesterday.
Dr. Jan Duolle from Fountain City came to do vet checks on horses and
begin drawing blood for coggins.

While Jen (Sidney Rain's adopter) stayed with Dr. Jan to check horses and
draw blood, Sue and Kim (soon to be Broadway Pete's adopter!) ran up the
road to load Pete and bring him to the farm for his coggins.

We had five scheduled horses Friday, and six that are still waiting to be
drawn. What a surprise to find out that Jen M. generously paid for all of
ASAP's horses to have their coggins done! Thanks to Jen and AJ for
gifting the following horses' coggins!

Timesareachanging
Taser Gun
Remmie
(Sidney Rain)
Market Analysis (who we scheduled for the next time out)

What a gift to ASAP - every bit counts! And thank you to Andrea T. and
Comfortex Mattress Company for their donation received today.

Now to find a way to sponsor us at Illinois Horse Fair! Anyone care to
sponsor Timesareachanging to pay for gas for the trip down? We still very
much need the support to make the event a reality! To add to this,
Timesareachanging will require special farrier work done next Tuesday to
fill a horrific crack in his front hoof. The fronts will then also
require shoes...another expense we were not expecting!

We are officially out of hay.......but hope with our recent donation to
get a new shipment in tomorrow.

Galley Fighter - Available for Adoption (Listed as Galley)

Placing owner writes:

His registered name is Galley Fighter 0D517 9. We call him Galley. His
grandsire
was Laag. He raced once and is listed as a pacer which really surprised
me (never
seen him do that) I got him from a lady who used to work on the tracks
and now
takes in horses to find them homes. She told me his groom cried when he
left. They
backed him about 6 times and then sold him to me, I got him and rode him
with my
friend in the woods and down the road. No formal training he just did it
because of
his temperment. We walked with him and took it easy. I took him down the
road by
himself this spring and trotted a little, he was fine but giving him more
of a
foundation would be the fair thing to do. I know he will be an awesome
horse with
training because of how well he has already done. Right now he needs some
refresher
lessons and exercise (probably only a handful given his disposition) so not a
beginner rider.

Blind STB Mare May Be Euthenized

If anyone can help, please let me know. It is urgent that we try to
assist a blind Standardbred mare who was rescued from neglect along with
other horses from the same farm near Dane County. She has been
rehabilitated and is now in good health, aside from being blind.

Dane county officials may euthenize her if we cannot find a home for her
to go to. Foster families or adoptive - anyone with experience in caring
for blind animals - let's try to help!

Contact Sue at 608-792-5126 cell or asapinc@mwt.net

Hay Needed - ASAP!

We are actively seeking hay, but need it delivered due to lack of
equipment on our farm to haul quantities needed.
If you have a pickup load, or a wagon load, and are willing to deliver
please let us know! We are in a position to purchase hay at this time.
Thank you!

Busy Day at ASAP!!!

What a beautiful day....with the sunshine brought many old friends, and some new ones.

Thanks to Pete M. for his donation of a pickup load of hay today! Pete has adopted Sadie, Gym Knoll Tons, Sugar and Ginger and he continues to surprise us with his generosity.

Thanks to Rhonda A. for coming over today to see our horses. She is currently fostering Shimmering Joseph, and we compared many notes as we troubleshoot what is causing Joseph's lameness.

Thanks to the high school gang and Tony B. for teaching them. Thanks to Breanna G. for coming to coach the girls in barrels!

Jen came to ride her lovely horse Sidney Rain, and brought a friend who tagged along on Cobrador Kosmos. Cobra was a muddy mess, and I think it took longer to groom the dirt off Cobra than the actual ride!

Thanks to Bryan and Kim for coming over - what a great feeling to see them pull into the driveway. Bryan and Kim previously had adopted Pan Overboard, who passed away last year. I was anxious to introduce Bryan and Kim to Market Analysis - somehow I thought that might be a match. We'll see.
