Ex-Rolex Horse Needs Help

Subs competed back in the day for Rolex, placing 15th with Olivia Loiacono. He is now 20 years old and his insurance coverage does not cover all of the colic surgery he recently had to undergo. They are asking for assistance. To see more go here: http://thehorseaholic.com/help-needed-for-ex-kentucky-rolex-3-day-event-horse/

I am all for helping other rides. Horses are expensive and coming together as a horse community to help each other makes this whole horse thing possible.

Horses Need Home ASAP

From Bright Futures Farm Facebook....

****NEED PLACEMENT ASAP****
These four horses are located in Central PA.
They are at a former rescue. One of the spouses passed away and the other spouse is not able to care for them. The property is up for sale, so there is little time to rehome them. Information is below. What I know, I have told you so please don't ask questions about a specific horse. I can't answer them. If you can help by giving one of these horses a home, as is, please contact us via pm here, or atbrightfuturesfarm@gmail.com I do not know what is going to happen if they don't find homes very soon. Owner's children (edited)
want to rehome them, but time is an issue.
Please share. Thank you.

Helping your community, Cheerio needs some help.

Shopping for a horse trailer on craigslist today and I found this ad: http://fortcollins.craigslist.org/grd/4142392491.html.

A local girl borrowed a horse trailer and the divider bar went through her horse's side. She doesn't have enough money to pay the bill of $4,200. I do not have a lot of money either, but I figured I could spare $20. I called Colorado State University and gave the name of the horse, Cheerio, and the owner's name, Sherry, to make the donation. It was very easy and they are mailing me a receipt.

Sometimes we spend so much time worrying about our own bills, how to afford going to the next show, or saddle upgrade that we forget about our neighbors, fellow horse friends, and the barn just down the street that may need our help. There are so many people and horses that walk the a fine line between being able to afford a horse and giving it up. We all know how expensive horses are in Boulder County, average horse board prices are in the high $600s! People deserve to keep their horses, to many people those horses are their family.

I hope that you have a few extra bucks (maybe you could spare some latte money) to donate to Cheerio and Sherry. Random acts of kindness are what keep our community together.

Call CSU and donate 970-297-5000. All you need is a credit card and the name Cheerio and Sherry.
