Canadians Desperate to Slaughter American Horses
Here is another post from www.tbfriends.com. I urge you to support this rescue. I always ad the contact information to these posts to make it easier for you. This is a horse rescue you can believe in.
Tuesday, September 16th… Yesterday afternoon we brought a sight unseen thoroughbred gelding to a family in Davis, and the young son says to me: Have you seen the news? The stock market is collapsing. Our economic woes are the result of dysfunctional leadership.
The young son is only 11. He talks like a math professor. As I was leaving the young son says: If you calculate the percentages, I would estimate a 90 percent chance you will soon lose your comb.
My comb was hanging from my back pocket, almost ready to fall. Thanks to the son, my comb was rescued.
The sight unseen gelding has his own stall and paddock. There is a large poster of Miley Cyrus taped to his stall door. Faith Hill blaring from the barn cd player. I get to meet the most interesting folks…
Two girls named Kelly greeted their horses yesterday. The amazing Blake left us for Kelly Findlay. The colorful gelding Presto Magic left us for Kelly Bonds, no relation to Barry. A big Thank You to Georgia Hartman and Stephanie Diaz for providing transportation.
We said hello to a small chestnut filly from the feed lot in Wilton, and her name is now Pink. She might be a thoroughbred, but most likely a mixture of this and that. Pink likes carrots, but not peppermints.
Disturbing news from horse killers who confirm Canada is not only giving gasoline vouchers to drivers of doomed horses, but Canada is also providing a free night at a motel. And a coupon for an all you can eat buffet. Many horse killers who were driving their doomed horses to Mexico are instead heading north.
If you would like a thoroughbred from recent ranch foreclosures, or if you would like a horse from several different families who must be rid of their animals, please give me a call at 530-383-2120. We will arrange shipping, but you have to pay for gasoline.
A cold Tuesday morning, with breakfast almost finished to 105 horses, and John Denver on the oldies station. Another filly comes to us from the feed lot in Wilton today. At the ranch where I earn the big bucks a warmblood gelding leaves for his new home in Los Angeles. I have loved this gelding for more than two years. His owner would say sure, take him for a long walk. And so I did. The main attraction at my silly day job was to spend time with this gelding. He is the star of any gathering. A dancer, a jumper. Today we say goodbye. At his new home he will have an ocean view. Much better than the large pile of old straw and poop currently outside his window.
Enjoy your you can feel autumn Tuesday, and be sure to hug your horses.
