Between the rain and the cool temperatures, we had about a week of warm summer weather. I was noticing the other day that there are already leaves changing to red and yellow on the trees. I really don't like this time of year. It's depressing to see everything dying and stop growing. And you know what is just around the corner. Snow and cold. Bleck.
Remember the emaciated gelding and mare I helped my cousin rescue earlier this year? Well, she is putting him up for sale, and, with my husbands blessing, I'm gong to pick him up on Saturday. So, I will be posting pictures as soon as he is here and settled in. I'm sure he will be getting nice and chunky - like all the others in my pasture.
It's that time of year. People are starting to dump horses left and right. Too many to count. Don't have hay in the barn, don't have money to feed them. Don't have time to take care of them now the kids are back in school. Too many excuses. Too many slackers out there that aren't taking their responsibilities seriously.
If you have horses, please commit to them for their life. Let them kn ow that they have a place to live until it's time to make the hard decision to put them down in peace and comfort.
If you know of a horse in need, please visit www.missyshopeerr.freehostia.com/ and list it with her. There are horses on the site from all over the country that are in need of homes. Scroll down the home page and they are listed (by state) on the pages. Too many pages.
Local rescues and humane society's also need help. If you can't have a horse and would like to help one out, I know that NONE of them would turn away a donation.
More pictures and updates soon! :)
