1.  important news: fosters, Chunky, and other news

Posted by: "May S." mayleen@...   funchy_crunchy

Wed May 20, 2009 11:06 am (PDT)
Times are difficult for all of us. I wouldn't ask for your help, if it
wasn't so important.
Last night, due to an unexpected emergency situation, the woman who was
going to keep Chunky ("Move those Chains"), could not keep him. I got the
notice yesterday afternoon, so I cancelled my other plans and by 6pm I
picked him up. I have to admit right now I am feeling a bit overwhelmed.
A few months back, Maggie's foster had Equihab pick Maggie up with no
notice, so Maggie had nowhere else to go but here. I still am fostering
Gypsy, taken in when a nice local man lost his job and was about to lose his
home. This means I'm caring for 3 equihab horses plus the two
former-rescue horses of my own to care for. I love helping horses, but
Equihab can't succeed without YOUR help.
Equihab isn't just "me". Equihab is a community non-profit organization
which helps horse owners & horses in and around our local area. Equihab
relies on sponsors, foster home, adopters, and other supporters to
function.
The horses NEED YOU TODAY!
Fosters are needed to take on one horse for a few months. Who wouldn't want
a rideable horse to enjoy during this nice weather?
One or two responsible people are needed to organize Equihab events for
summer or fall. Without events we can't do education or fundraising.
A publicity volunteer is needed. We need help connecting homes with the
horses. I believe the right homes are out there for these horses -- we
just need to connect with those people.
Ongoing donations to offset the cost of caring for so many horses are also
needed. The horses need feed, spring shots, farrier, etc. Equihab's hay
supplier just informed us last night that we should expect the price of
round-bales to go up 10%+, starting with the first cutting.
Equihab would also love help with its web site, donated trims, donated vet
care, donated hay or supplies, etc.
A yard/tack sale was proposed to raise money, but we need a location & a few
helpers to hold it. Can you help?
A Board of Directors position is also vacant: looking for a responsible,
impartial adult who is able to give a few hours a month to Board meetings.
Contact us for more info.
Please contact me by phone, 443-466-4087, or by email, may@... (may @ equihab.com) if
you can be of any help. On behalf of the horses, thank you.
Sincerely,
May Snyder
Equihab Foundation

1.  The NEER BIG Mr/MA can not stay at his 'forever' foster home any more... ):

17H, 2000 lbs, mostly dominant (even over mares) but has been getting along with donks and a couple of girlfriends of late.  He was used and abused by the Amish for years!  ):  20 something, but in great shape.  Likes nothing, but respects fencing.  NOT for a timid inexperienced person.  The BIG Mr knows that he is intimidating and uses it to his advantage, but he does have nice manners.  Drives, has the dents, scars and outfolded lips to prove it.  Did not like the whole 'riding' thing.  He would like a big field with a run in to stand in until his last breath.  Not bad with his feet, if you're feeding him, he is barefoot.  The BIG Mr is an easy keeper, needs to be on hay and/or hay stretcher ONLY, anything more gives him the trots (no pun). UTD/coggins, etc.

Presently in Groveland MA.

If you have the space and experience for a big standoffish draft, please let me know... fatoldfarmwife@... (fatoldfarmwife @ verizon.net)

No fee.

More info:

This boy is in need of a family. He is a big horse that thinks he is small. He has had a tough life and would prefer to be a baby sitter. He can be turned out with mares, donkeys, and doesn’t have any problems with dogs or cats. He is rather timid and needs to have owners who will care for him and not have caretakers.  He responds better to one or two handlers and not more. He has not been turned out with any geldings yet, but soon to be tried. His dream is to be loved, and his retirement wishes honored. No work, no saddle no bridle and no driving. Just let him keep your equines company. He is not a dominant horse, just a nervous boy. He forgets that he is as big as he is, he always keeps you with in his sights, but if scared he forgets how big he is.

Nebraska:

1.  Urgent update (3 Mar 2009):  I do have an update on my landlord's horses. I spoke with him today when he was out and it is not great news. He said that one way or another he will be down to 4 horses this spring. I am guessing that he is planning on taking the 2 mares and 2 colts to auction the next time it is local. I am not sure when that will be. Our area is pretty quiet on horse auctions and usually only holds two pretty large auctions a year...one in the spring and one in the fall. I haven't heard yet when the first one will be. I can't see him taking them too far out.  I mentioned that I might consider buying the one mare myself (as she is very attached to my mare) and he said that if I did, I would have to probably start paying him for hay.  I have been in contact with a rescue who might be able to take them, but I would have to fundraise the ransom and health certs, etc. for them...that was just for the 2 mares though. The two stud colts will be the hardest to place. The one is very sweet and handling well, but the other is still pretty shy and I have yet to get him haltered. sigh. He did mention that he was considering gelding at least Dusty.  Any help for these horses would be greatly appreciated!

I have listed my landlord’s twores on my website.  Please note that they have very limited handling.  I am reintroducing the halter and will work with them until a good home is found for them.  5 yr old bay roan mare.  Approximately 14.2 – 15H.  Beautiful face and very willing to please.  She is haltering nicely now and is beginning to take tentative steps forward when asked.  Not bad considering we are working in the pasture with all the other horses around!  Best offer.  My landlord also has an older bay roan mare.  This mare is very friendly likes people, is halter broke (she is a little nervous at first when you start to put the halter on, but once on she will do anything asked of her), and had a beautiful bay colt last year (she is open this year.)  She is not registered.  I am not for sure how old she is.  Best offer.  Update (11 Dec 2008):  My landlord has also added the two yearling colts to the list of horses for sale.  Denny is a buckskin roan.  He is still shy with strangers and is not halter broke at this time.  I have been working with him as he originally wouldn’t let anyone come within five feet of him.  He loves scratches and to be brushed, but he is still a little nervous with the halter touching him.  Dusty is the bay colt (recently gelded) out of Bella.  He is an absolute pocket pony and loves attention.  He halters well, but can still be a little stubborn about leading.  He allows fly masks and will pick up his feet if asked.  You can do anything with this boy!  He has potential to make someone a very nice gelding!  I have lots of pictures if anyone wants to see them!   Best offer.  Update: 13 Apr 2009:  These horses are still available.  They are now UTD with deworming, but not vaccs as my landlord doesn't believe in vaccinating horses that don't leave the property. I will try to get more pictures of them on the website soon.  Please email me for more info Missys.hope @ gmail.com (remove spaces)  Located in Nebraska.

This is very difficult for me to do.  Due to a personal problem (divorce) the future of Double G Stable & Farms is in jeopardy.  Because the future is so very unclear for me right now I need to think of the horses first.  Because I don’t want there to be a last minute panic or wait too long and have the horses suffer I am asking for help now.  Please keep this about the horses. I ask that any personal questions you might have remain personal. Just e-mail me and I will do my best to answer.  This is a very difficult time for me after 17yrs it was not the situation I expected to find myself.

I need to place as many of the horses here now as I can.  I will be going from having my husbands income to not really having much of any.  Which makes it hard to care for 13 horses.  So here is what we have. 

Marigold 32 yr old blind OTTB mare.

Makeda approx 25 yr old Standardbred mare needs a special diet due to dental issues.

Ollie  2yr old TB mare Still has slight heart murmur but it seems to be getting better.

Silver approx 18 yr old POA Blind gelding. He does ride and is very sweet.

George is my blind gelding that is the best riding horse I have ever had. Just ask and he’ll do it.

Victoria 12 yr old appaloosa mare. Broke to ride I used to show her, but she has just been hanging out in the pasture.

Hope 18yr old Arab  cross mare. OK for light riding due bad joint in rear leg. Loves kids.

Cherry 25 yrs old QH mare. Very light riding or companion due to old knee injury.

Miss O and Jackjack will stay with Alex

Mini Mow and his momma will most likely go to a friend.

Hannah will return to her previous owner.

Emma is owned by a boarder.

We are in Sophia NC which is almost dead center in the middle of the state.

More info:

I do want to make it clear that this isn't just a fire sale.  I made a promise to each of these horses that they would never suffer again.  Which is why I am trying to place them sooner rather then later.  They will not just  get on the first trailer that shows up.  I am not "advertising" them because I don't want to take the chance of them going to the wrong home. 

 

Rhode Island:

1.  NEER/Solar/RI is in desperate need of a new home.  He is an older 'shrimpy' Belgian (looks like he was put in the dryer:), beaten up AND down by the Amish.  He drives, but does not appear to ride.  He has learned to trust more, likes things calm, likes to eat, and loves carrots now.  He needs a quiet retirement home where no one will yell at him or abuse him, but he is not 'skiddish'.  He is about 15H and stubby, comfortable...if you like riding a couch. 20ish years old. UTD.  Needs work on his feet, he is accustomed to stocks.  He needs somebody with experience to do his feet, he does NOT want them touched!  ):

Solar would need to be retrained to be ridden.  He can be stubborn, but you can barely blame him... he is not mean or nasty, very sweet...just hesitant to trust, and he really should just be retired.  He loves where he is now, but is not a trail horse, and his fosters want a trail horse.

PLEASE help Solar!!  ):

These horses are no longer available at this time. I emailed Morgan and got
this reply yesterday. 7/8/09
Thank you to everyone who has responded to the email for homes for the 27
horses. The owner now does not want to surrender the horses. We are hoping
that Gilchrist County Animal Services, who have had prior complaints on
these horses and has been out to see the horses in the past, will be able to
help the horses. If the owner changes her mind and wants to surrender them,
we are still ready and willing to catch them, pull Coggins, house them and
adopt them out or assist Gilchrist County in any manner requested. If there
are any new developments we will send out another email.
Please pass this on as the original email has been circulated extensively.
Everyday we are contacted by private owners needing to find a home for their
horses because they cannot afford to feed them. If you can give a horse a
home, please email and we will put you in touch with the owners. We have
young, unstarted and just started TBs needing homes, most are small.
www.adoptahorseltd.org <http://www.adoptahorseltd.org/> has some rideable
larger horses suitable for trail horses for adoption.

More Slaughtered Horses Discovered in Florida

The investigation into a series of horse killings in Florida widened on June 19 when a rancher discovered two slaughtered horses partially buried in a dirt mound on his Miami-Dade County property.
The discovery is the latest in an ongoing Miami-Dade Police investigation into a series of incidents involving horses slaughtered by poachers.
A similar investigation is ongoing in Miramar, Fla., where the butchered remains of two Paso Fino horses were discovered on May 6.
Police speculate the incidents are connected to an illegal horsemeat market in Florida.
Read more about these cases.

 

Equine events:

1.  Dear Horse Welfare Activists:

Horses on the Hill day is rapidly approaching and having your voice of support heard on Capitol Hill is more important than ever.  Horse slaughter advocates have been ratcheting up their misinformation campaign so we must make sure our elected officials hear the facts from the majority of Americans who support an end to horse slaughter. 

If you are able to join us in person please see the information below for recent updates to the day.  If you aren’t able to attend in person, but would like to participate in effort, The Humane Society of the United States has helped arrange for a national call in day so everyone can join Horses on the Hill.  The call in flyer is attached.  Be sure to share this flyer and call in information with everyone. 

Date:  July 14, 2009

Time: 10am – 5pm

Number: Call the Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and ask to be connected to your two US Senators and US Representative’s offices (to find them visit www.compassionindex.org).  Your 30-second phone calls urging your legislators to “please support H.R. 503 and S. 727 to protect horses from slaughter” are critical.  

UPDATE FOR THOSE ATTENDING: 

Packets of basic information will be provided at the 10am briefing with Senator Landrieu for use in your meetings.  However, we also recommend that you include any letters from friends, rescues or others you know want to be heard on the issue in support of S. 727 and H.R. 503, the Prevention of Equine Cruelty Act. 

During your meetings it is important to share personal and local stories about horses and horse rescues that have impacted you. 

An end of day reception has been added for everyone to touch base one more time before going home.  Drinks and refreshments will be served.

Location:   Animal Welfare Institute 900 Pennsylvania Ave., SE (one block from Eastern Market Blue Line Metro stop)

Time:  5pm

We look forward to seeing everyone on July 14^th. 

Thanks for all you do, 

Animal Welfare Institute                              The Humane Society of the United States

Please mark your calendar and join the Animal Welfare Institute and Humane Society of the United States in Washington, DC on July 14^th to meet with your legislators and show your support for America’s horses and the Prevention of Equine Cruelty Act (H.R. 503/S. 727).  The last Horses on the Hill was a huge success, let’s make this one even bigger and better!

Please send an email to blair@... telling us if you plan on attending.  Feel free to email if you have any questions.

Then follow these steps:

Visit AWI’s Compassion Index to find your US Representative and two US Senators.  Enter your zip code and hit go.

Call their offices and ask to speak with their animal staffer, let them know you are a constituent. Schedule a meeting on July 14^th between 11 am and 4 pm. You will be scheduling a total of three meetings (one in US House, two in US Senate). You can ask to meet with your legislator, as well, but meeting with the animal staffer is very beneficial. Questions about calling Capitol Hill?  Click here.

After you set your meetings, come back to AWI’s Compassion Index and fill out the form with your meeting information.  This will help us both coordinate your meetings and follow up after you leave.  We will provide specific information (brochures, fact sheets, etc…) that will help in your meetings.

Send this email to everyone you know and ask them to join us in Washington, DC on July 14^th for America’s horses.

Make your travel plans (see below) to join us on Capitol Hill.  DC is a great summer destination.  There are lots of things to do.

If you have any questions please email Blair at blair@....  We look forward to seeing you all on July 14^th.  Be sure to bookmark http://www.horsesonthehill.org and check back often for updates and new information.

Dear Equestrian Friends,
We just recieved an alert via e-mail. It was sent from Cindy Greenia-Cross,
VT Horse Council, President regarding a horse missing in Northfield, VT -
Not stolen just missing please read on...
Best regards,
Cindi Burns
Missing Horse - Northfield, VT
E-mail recieved 8:31 PM July 8, 2009
Hello everyone, Please distribute this to everyone you know. Jodi Barna, one
of our Horse Council committee chairs lost her horse, Chief, at
approximately 10:30 am on Tuesday, July 7th after he spooked on a trail ride
and she was unseated. Chief ran off into the woods and did not return Jodi
was able to track him for a while but unfortunately his tracks dissapeared
in an unmowed field. Chief ran off wearing all his tack which included an
endurance type saddle, leather bridle and reins and a rope halter under his
bridle. Karen Blow and four of her friends have searched for Chief on
horseback both yesterday and today. More volunteers would be helpful as our
fear is that Chief may have gotten his tack caught up somewhere. If you are
interested in searching please contact Jodi at 485- 3354 or Karen Blow at
839-0147. Because of work committments and a memorial service this weekend I
will not be able to help with coordination so please don't contact me
directly to volunteer. Most importantly please pass this infomation on to
everyone you know especially those in the Northfield area to keep there eyes
out so we can get this boy home. Cindy Cross-Greenia Vermont Horse Council

2.  Hello,

I seen you posted equines wanted.

Could you add us to the list? 

We are searching for a mule that needs a good home, broke to ride for the grandchildren. Gentle a must.

Age not really important.  Will be well loved and cared for with plenty of space to roam.

A donkey is also need as a replacement for an elderly man, he uses his donkeys to plow his and neighbors gardens, one passed on this winter and he is searching for one that is at least semi broke. Age unimportant. 

Both are guaranteed to find a forever home, what comes here never leaves, they find a safe haven.

We are in Northwest Alabama.  Franklin county. 

Thanks in advance.
