-I am very interested in helping.I agree if there were some kind of id
for just rescues it would help at stock yard sales.At least the
auctioneers would know and possibly have a list of all rescue brands
they could question the seller.That would have prevented the whole CBR
thing.I am all for it.So many horses that fall through the cracks.Hey
were are you located in NC? We are having a fund raiser/awarness day
at Tractor supply some time in May.Would you like to come and join our
both.Nothing is final yet,but it would help to get the word out.
