We have definitely been busy these last few weeks. We have placed out almost all of the Filley Feedlot Horses. We have 2 left; Alaina, a 3 year old bay mare that has been mainly unhandled and Maggie, a 23-25 year old QH mare that is now in foster care being weaned and putting weight back on. The court made their final ruling on the Butler County Horses on the 8th of August. They were awarded 6 of the horses back and probation for 6 months. This is a situation that we will be keeping an eye on in case we are needed again. Also the situation in Polk County was resolved by the owner. We like to hear that the owner took responsibility. We are currently getting ready for winter. We are in the process of raising funds to stock up on small squares for the winter. We also would like to put in 2 automatic waterers. We have the piping already installed, but need the actual units. This will alleviate the hose and large tanks in the 2 pastures we use over the winter. We are also completing our barn so that a few of our horses will be able to be inside over the winter and we are putting stalls in the garage for some of the foaling mares.
Events
We are working on getting a couple of fundraisers going before winter to help pay for the hay and automatic waterers that we need. We will be posting on the website about the events. We are also doing a Funniest Horse Photo Contest. The prize is a $20 gift card to TSC and all entries need to be sent to cmiller@heartlandhorserescue.com by 10/30/07. Winner will be announced 10/31/07.
Featured Horse
Sassy
Sassy is a 6 year old welsh pony mare that we have had for 2 years. She is a permanent resident due to the trauma of being severely beaten. Sassy needs a Guardian Angel to help with her daily care. She has come around slowly but steadily over the time she’s been here. It is our hope that in another couple years we can start her under cart. She is gaited and would make a lovely cart horse. Any and all donations would be greatly appreciated and are tax deductible.
