Lending the perfect name to a wonderful season, last night Faith, a rescue mare, arrived from the Equine Angels Rescue Sanctuary (EARS). Her new owner and their family along with ours were here to greet her.
She has the most beautiful eyes and face and truly lives up to her name. The picture above is from the rescue website.
Chuck read to Elizabeth from the book that Frank Weller from EARS left last night about the plight of PMU mares and we were all disturbed and quite moved to learn more about the very difficult life these animals live in order to provide Hormone Replacement Therapy. As a woman of a 'certain' age, I must say I am relieved that I have avoided taking an HRT although it was more for the side effects it might have on me than from any knowledge of how they are manufactured.
Elizabeth is now determined to spend a week volunteering in Connecticut this summer and she and her cousin stayed up late last night designing their own Save the Horses blog to raise money for EARS. Check out wwwhelpthehorses.blogspot.com (no 'dot' after www ...)
Faith is in what our regulars will think of as Caesar's stall. As hard as it was to say goodbye to him, it feels great to have Faith take that spot in our barn.
The second picture above is Patty (who we are calling Peppermint Patty during the holiday season) chosen because it is a great shot AND the EARS organization actually has a medicine hat on their website and cards!

Oh my, my favorite type! She is very Booesque - a little more refined, perhaps. Can't wait to meet her! Congratulations, CHF. There are so many nice ones out there that need homes.:)
ReplyDeleteIt is awesome to learn how Faith has affected so many folks. She, like her name, is full of Hope and Joy as well. She will be a great addition to Patti's family. It was so nice to meet everyone when we delivered her. Everyone is so friendly and caring and we sense that Faith will fit right in. It is a very pretty place and I can't wait to see it in daylight. I am very proud of Elizabeth for understanding and helping the PMU horses. If everyone just did one thing, these noble souls would be out of danger. Peace, Joy and Love, for amd from the rescued horses, Frank Weller
