Soulful Sunday Part 2 - Update on the Horses You Helped Save!

Here is an update from Dr. Deborah Wilson, who is the director of the Feathers Foundation and Circle L Ranch, who are currently taking care of the Feedlot Rescue horses:

Thanks to your help, we managed to raise $5,225.00 in an effort to save the pregnant
mares on the feedlot.
We were able to save and transfer all but two horses to a safe location and this is an
accomplishment that would not have been met without your generous support.
Regretfully, we lost one mare who foaled early on the lot, likely due to the stressful
situation. She died of a ruptured uterus. We are also sad to report that a foal also perished
shortly after birth. both of these events occurred early on in our effort to raise funds.
The moment we learned of the situation, we immediately advanced funds to move the
others to a safe location. They are all now safe, sound, calm and currently awaiting
transfer to homes, which we are still in need of. If you or a friend are interested in
fostering or adopting one or more of these beautiful and noble animals, please contact us at
CircleLRanch@gmail.com immediately. We are still working on transport at this time, but
the horses are safe and calm!
While we did suffer two horrible losses, saving the other horses is an accomplishment of
which we should all be proud! We thank you for your ongoing support and
encouragement. Without your quick assistance and continued generosity, our work would
not be possible...

Fabulous Friday - You Did It!!

YOU DID IT YOU DID IT! Thank You so much to everyone who donated and/or passed the message on about the 19 feedlot horses scheduled for slaughter - they have managed to raise enough money to help them!

Unfortunately, 3 of the pregnant mares gave birth in the feedlot, one mare died, and one foal died also, but though the remaining horses are in rough shape, your donations are helping to bring the remaining horses back to health with the promise of a life with people who love them.

You are Wonderful, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!

If you would like to know more, or donate (they still need funds to care for the animals they rescue, after all!), please visit their website: http://www.circlel.org/clr/

URGENT CALL FOR HELP!

I received an email from a friend, Marjorie over at The Fantail, about the Feathers Foundation, an organization that saves good horses from slaughterhouses in Canada and the United States. Apparently, they have come across a lot of 19 horses, ten of which are pregnant! They are all due to go to the slaughterhouse unless the money can be raised to send them to Circle L Ranch in Arizona to be rehabilitated and, where possible, adopted out to a loving forever home. They need to raise about $4500US and have so far reached about $2100US. Any donation is greatly appreciated, many people are giving just $10 (and that is doable for just about everyone, right?) to help and that is making all the difference! If just 200 people donate $10 (and you are welcome to donate more!), they will reach their goal in no time.
THEY NEED TO REACH THEIR GOAL BY APRIL 24 OR THESE HORSES AND THEIR UNBORN FOALS WILL GO TO SLAUGHTER! Please, please help save them! If you go to their donation site (which is a secure site through FirstGiving) you can see that you may even be able to adopt them, for as little as $100! How amazing to get such a wonderful creature for only $100, and know that you have saved them a terrifying end to a too-short life.

Thank you!
