Md Hay to NY Rescued Horses- FingerLakes SPCA
We have secured 650 bales of Hay to be delivered to the Finger Lakes SPCA for the 90+ NY Horses that
were rescued on Aug 29-30. At $4 a bale (delivered)
we need to raise $2600 to provide them with 650 bales. We are currently at $1000. I know times are tough but would you
please consider helping these horses? Like the
Humane Society of Wash. County MD with the Sharpsburg horses 2 years ago this rescue is daunting to the SPCA in Finger Lakes.
Please consider making a donation and pass this along
to anyone you know that would be interested. Donations
to our hay fund should be addressed as follows: ATTENTION VICKY MOSGROVE
MARYLAND HAY FUND Finger Lakes SPCA 7135 State Rte. 54 Bath NY 14810 For
more info on these horses please click:www.fingerlakesspca.org Many thanks for your help- Fran/Boxwood Farm

Horse Charity info from Fran:
I am working with Angel Acres Horse Haven just over the Md Line at the end of Middletown Rd. to help Jo
Deibel save TBs from slaughter. She pulls them out of the killpen at New Holland.We have a really successful fundraiser (decorating
horse shoes) going but we need help! All of the $ goes towards the purchase of these horses!! In order for our decorated shoes to continue to be profitable
we need to get shoe donations. We have run out!! Horse shoes of course! Please ask your farrier if he has any shoes
he doesn't need. Please don't throw your worn shoes away. Recycle them with us!! The easiest to paint are aluminum but
we will take any used or unused. I have purchased my sister's horse van ("Blue") from Mehdi at Winter's Run Farm (thanks Mehdi- you are the greatest!!)
and it is going to be donated to Angel Acres. "Blue", whom Garrison Forest girls remember fondly, will be here at my farm
starting tomorrow night for a few weeks until Jo picks her up. It is my hope that while Blue is here that we can really fill
her up with horse shoes. That way when Jo picks her up she will have lots to work with!! Shoes can be
dropped off here at my farm- Boxwood Farm, 2616 Monkton Rd. Monkton,MD. Please drop them off and put them in Blue's
side door. It will be unlocked just for this cause. Please spread the word for me. Also, please go to http://www.angelacreshorsehavenrescue.com/. Check out Jo's "online shoe store" By the way, she will do custom ones. We have done some for specific horses, farms, and recently she sent one to a child
in Shock Trauma. They make great holiday gifts as well as of course they are "lucky!" Jo Deibel is doing great work saving these horses out of the kill pen and
retraining them for adoption. She has some quite nice 6-7 yr olds that would make excellent show prospects. Also, if any of
your kids need community service time Jo could really use help.
All the best - Fran Burns

is dedicated to saving horses from slaughter for human consumption in Europe and Asia.

Update

Freedom
Hills also has a benefit dinner and auction each year. It is usually held at the end of February or early March in Perryville
at the banquet hall attached to the Fire Department. They have a ton of stuff to bid on, some silent, some live.
If you want to support their cause but can’t help this weekend, keep the banquet in mind.
ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is building a new house and stable in Port Deposit, for a very deserving
family. The Luther family has run the Freedom Hills Therapeutic Riding Program since 1982.( http://www.freedomhills.org/ ) The program brings people with disabilities together with horses for a unique rehabilitation experience.
Mr. Luther died from cancer earlier this year, leaving Mrs. Luther with 2 children to raise alone and the threat of losing
the farm and the Program. The rebuilding of the house and out building will be taking place this week. The show is scheduled
to air in January.
A website has been
setup by Clark Turner Signature Homes where you can follow the progress, apply to be a volunteer, and if possible make a donation
to help this Therapy program continue. There are even directions to the site for those who wish to see first hand, how they
manage to complete the projects in 7 days.
http://www.ctextremedream.com
Remember, we all need to help out to make
our world a better place to live. Whether it be donating time/money, holding the door for someone, letting a car merge into
your lane or rebuilding a home. Every little bit helps.
Thanks for taking time to read this,
John

- UPDATE - The Western MD Horses were awarded to the Washington County Humane Society. As a result, these animals are now ready to be adopted. Adoption fees begin at $500.
These fees are going towards the medical expenses ($100,000+) that were incurred to rehabilitate and treat the abused animals.
If you are interested in adopting one of them or know of someone who may be able to take companion animals, please contact
the Washing County Humane Society. They contine to look for cash donations to offset
incurred expenses. Anyone wishing to make a dontation in support of these animals should contact the Humane Society
of Washington County.
