?in Middletown was horrible - wouldn't take a credit card over the
?phone or an out of town check.
?Even if people don't want to buy a horse or enlarge their "family" on
?a permanent basis - can't we find temporary homes until we can get
?them a "forever home" where they will be loved and properly taken care
of?
?I don't know how many? members there are in the club, or even
?non-members who have room to board just one horse temporarily.? There
?about 40 mares,foals and stallions who haven't been spoken for as of
?today.? I pray we can find a solution to their plight before they are
?destroyed.
?It was a joy to meet Sydni and Melissa.? They are lovely, generous
?and devoted ladies - not to mention very capable and
?knowledgeable.? I can't tell you how impressed I am. After working
?all day, taking care of their own families and horses, in 100 degree
?weather - they have the devotion to drive a four horse trailer up
?that long and winding road bringing a load of alfalfa, and then
?hauling the mares,foals and stallions back to Santa Rosa.? They get
?back after midnight, have to check out the horses get them feed and
?bedded down - and then home and to bed. They have been paying the
?expenses for this all by themselves.? I don't have to tell everyone
?how expensive gas is these days.? I think they figure about $60 per
?run just in gas.? They are on the phone almost constantly trying to
?find homes.? They really deserve a big star after their names in
?Heaven's Book.
?Mrs. Markoff also deserves a big star.? I am looking forward to
?meeting this generous and lovely lady who has given so much.? And my
?thanks to George Logvy as well.? I just know John and my Dad are
?cheering us on up by The Rainbow Bridge.
?Please cross post this if you think it might help those beautiful
?creatures.? Sorry it is so long.? I've left a lot unsaid as it is not
?up to me to judge; I just hope this situation never happens
?again.? I've contacted a lot of people and spread the word, including
?the Novato Horsemen's.? Are there other "all breed"? organizations in
?Sonoma and Napa counties? and farther north who might be a good
resource?
?Syndi? has been doing a great job as "point gal".? You can reach her
?at 707-396-3861 ( or 707-546-6520) and please send donations to her
?at 1335 South Wright Road, Santa Rosa.? I am not sure of the zip, but
?maybe 95404.? Donations for feed at 707-279-0550, Keith at Rainbow
?AG.? I tried to get him to give me a sale price, but no go - but keep
?up the pressure.
?Teresa Sanders is difficult to reach, but keep trying at
?707-987-3423, 707-987-2635 or at her newspaper 707-987-3602.
?It is my constant prayer that we can save these exquisite Arabians;
?they deserve a much better fate!
?Thanks again for all your help, Debbie -
