Listen Beau, you have to let everyone know we’re in a pickle. The storm this week was really tough and caused some damage that needs repair. Let them know how very important their support is to the rescue especially at times like this. Tell them we really need their vote to help get us into the top 10 to receive grant funds from the Giving Circle this quarter. We can really use those funds for repairs this spring and we’re so close, hovering around 20. Let them know voting is weekly through March and we post reminders. Be sure to tell them it's FREE to vote and only takes a minute. They’ll just need to confirm their email the first time, no donation required. And most importantly Beau don’t forget to tell them how much we love them, and how their support helps provide food, shelter and medical care for all of us here at the rescue. You got this! Here’s the link: https://mygivingcircle.org/mills-river-rescue-and-sanctuary and vote for us today!

True

They don’t care.

That’s how I explain horses to potential new owners who inquire with me for advice. I don’t ever want to discourage someone from the adventure of owning horses. But I feel it is my responsibility as a horse woman to look out for their future horses by giving them the harsh reality.

They don’t care if you’re sick.
They don’t care if it’s 0 degrees
They don’t care if you don’t have the money this month.
They don’t care if you’re tired.
They don’t care if you had other plans.
They don’t care if it’s the holidays.
They don’t care if you’re at work.
They don’t care if it’s the middle of the night.

They depend on you. They need fed, every day multiple times a day. They need their stalls cleaned / turned out, every day. They need you to bust ice on freezing days, and bring extra water on hot ones. They need you to care for them when they’re sick, and they are FRAGILE. Seriously, they spend 75% of their life trying to die and vet bills are expensive.

But, it will be your greatest adventure. The right horse will care about you. They will care for you on days you need it most.

So, take lessons, come over and hang out with your horse friends for a day, volunteer to help them out. Make sure it’s something you want to commit to because they didn’t ask to be in your care.

Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
