Please check out our special fundraising drives below. We appreciate any and all donations to help these horses.

Our current fundraising effort to help take care of our adoptive mom, her foal, and the three orphans she has adopted, and is nursing. We need to buy a LOT of Foal Lac to help this girl out, and make sure these orphans receive the nutrition they need. If you can help it would be greatly appreciated...every little bit DOES help. Donations can be earmarked "Foal Lac". You can read more about our mare and her orphans below, or in our Previous Blogs section here.

Thank you to the following people for donating towards our orphans: Corrine E, Sandy B, Susan H, Christina K, Janet F,

Our current fundraising effort to help Bridget. In addition to all the basics (hoof trimming, vet care, worming, good food) this little girl has an umbilical hernia, and will need to have it surgically repaired. Donations for Bridget are gratefully appreciated, and can be earmarked "Bridget". You can read more about Bridget, and her mother Suri, our Previous Blog section which is located here, and in our "Meet The Horses" section, under "2008 Rescues". Thank you!!!

Thank you to the following people for donating towards Bridget's care: Tamara W, Renee J, Donna A, Marla G, Ken E

Jasper was destined for slaughter...he had an impaction. This poor little guy was full of worms, and almost died. $3500 later, and a surgery that was successful, Jasper is on the road to recovery. His foster mom, Marie, has paid all his bills, close to $5,000 in total. We'd love to give her a little relief, and help out with Jasper's costs, even though Marie has not asked for one dime, and does not expect one dime. She really is an angel...If you'd like to help Jasper, it would be greatly appreciated. Donations can be earmarked "Jasper". You can read more about Jasper in our Previous Blogs section here.

A little girl I know is holding her Guinea pig because he is dying; he is cold and quiet and this little girl's mom is watching her daughter comfort this little creature as he makes his exit. We pray it goes swiftly.

I rescued a little dog that was going to be euthanized because the kennel had advertised his gender wrong, and nobody showed interest in him. How could they, they kept asking about "her"! So I have a pup coming that I'm sure I'll hear grief about (see his picture below...he is darling...)

All the while I have a crabby neighbor who is constantly complaining because he says I am "over horsed". All four of the new little lives we are all working so hard to save don't weigh as much as one horse if we put all their little bodies on one scale. Is it really terrible to have too many beating hearts in one pasture? These little creatures are following this one lovely mare around and she guards them with her life. Make no mistake, they are hers now, each and every one. What a tragedy it would have been to try and separate them. (Of course then I wouldn't have been overhorsed.) Who cares??? It's temporary, but this guy doesn't care. Karie , my foster ranch mom, will head home tomorrow taking with her other rescued mares, which will help bring the numbers back down. (Shes leaving a day early because we are all stressing about all the neighbors). Below is a photo taken today at the ranch of our wonderful mama mare, and her little skinny babies.

The damage is done. The lack of compassion. The lack of understanding. He told her to move her trailer off his property, it was an eyesore. So I moved it to the bottom of my hill. I asked my neighbors if I could park it across from their driveway along the pasture fence...sure they said, but that's not OUR side of the street. it belongs to so and so....better ask him. I could see if I was blasting music , leaving horse manure, trashing the area...I never do any of the above. So I wll move it again.

I think people are more obsessed with their things, their property, their property lines and their money than they are anything else. I am sorry, but it makes me sick. I have been committed to helping all my life, kindergartners, stray animals, older folks, it doesn't matter. I think most folks have lost site of that, and today I am certainly feeling it.. Donations are down, very very critically down, and so are my spirits.

The orphaned foals and palomino mare are leaving tonight. Should be here in the early hours of daybreak. I just learned the mare has never been haltered. Lets hope this scared mama is as nice to me as she has been to the little orphans! I have my Foster Ranch Manager heading into town to help. Thanks to Karie! I have to be to work by 8am. I always wonder how much more effective I could be if I could rescue horses full time. But the reality is ZERO. I cannot rescue one horse and pay for my ranch if I am not employed. So Hi-Ho Hi-Ho, you know the rest.

I am posting a pic of a sweet little male pup who was going to be euthanized this morning. I can't see putting a 10 month old puppy to sleep because the shelter is overcrowded. ( His mommy had to go to the hospital for a kidney transplant and had to surrender the puppy.) So Carmine was pulled, yes at the eleventh hour, and is waiting on transport from LA to my place. Anybody know anyone traveling north? I will get him fixed and then place him up for adoption.

Can't wait to see those babies, and meet Carmine the white pup.

Please go and read Joe at TB Friends blog...there are so many horses who need help right now. What is wrong with the world? www.tbfriends.com
