Horse Feathers Needs Your Help
It's that time of year where the last of the events are coming to an end and we will be settling in for the winter. With the long winter months ahead we need YOUR help in keeping the horses fed and warm. Vacations from the summer months are over, children are back in school and the holidays are sneaking up on us like a cat chasing a bug.
With the economy like it is we as well as other types of rescues have been hit and some hit hard. I've heard that many rescues have closed their doors permanently due to the lack of funds and various other reasons. We have been working diligently on fundraisers and other avenues to raise money to keep Horse Feathers open as well as to serve the community. We will have another raffle coming up soon that will get posted here and on our forum, but we still need YOUR help.
We are in need of horse 'angels' or sponsors to help care for the horses. Even 10.00 month can help buy feed or pay for supplements. The drought here has created a hay shortage as well as now with the mass rains it has prohibited those from getting in to at least get a last cutting for the year. Many will not be able to as the hay will be at a loss. Prices are going to go up, in some areas they already have. So what we used to pay a nominal fee for will be double if not higher. These issues as well as costs going up on grains is another reason we need help sponsoring these horses, esp those who are in sanctuary.
Would you consider sponsoring a horse here at Horse Feathers? You may visit the website for information on sponsoring or donating to help our General Fund.
As always, the horses thank you for staying in touch and helping to keep them safe.

Hi, RT:
I would like to be an "angel" and sponsor my beautiful "Tullie". What do I need to do?

Jeanette,
Thanks so much for wanting to help. Tullie is one that will live here always with her 'special needs'. The vet and I were just discussing skin graphs the other day and looking into it at least for her back area that seems to really have a hard time healing.
You can go to the website and donate through the paypal or send a check for whatever amount you want to help 'sponsor' her. I will have Viet list you as her sponsor when he gets donation letters done next week.
We've had some puter issues of late and mine should be out of the shop I am hoping by Friday. He will be taking off work all week next week to help here as well as work in the office to get caught up. He is very anal about his records so I dont mess with his PC. We are like the PC vs Mac here. I play the commercials for him all the time.. LOL
Thanks so much for helping Tullie, She has grown to be quite a hand full. She has the perfect shape and size that would have been an awesome little barrel horse or trail horse if someone hadnt done this to her. I will get you some updated pics of her.

I just added a couple of photos I got of Tullie playing in the pond back in June. They're not great quality but she was so cute and it's so wonderful to see her feeling good enough to be playful.
