Thanks to everyone that attended our first fundraiser! The weather was beautiful and the ride was awesome. A big thank you to those who came, those who donated items for our silent auction (and the silent auction bidders!). A special thank you goes out to Ashley & Mark, and Kelly & Joe for putting this together, as well as Ann Ness for all her help including letting us set up at the Pillager Fairgrounds. We're looking forward to our 2nd annual ride in 2012! Photos from the day below:

 

Thank you Kelly for the wonderful donation on blankets in November, they are all in use right now and we (and the horses) love them! We are so grateful.

   

We really need to mention our friends and supporters, Craig and Laurie.  They have been here for us these last couple months with their bobcat on a weekly basis as I have been unable to pull in my big round bales due to all the mud from the endless rain.  Having enough hay means nothing if you can't get it to the horses.  They ask nothing in return and simply show up when we need them, that's truly priceless!

 

Want to give a huge Thank You to the Riverside Trailblazers Saddle Club! They contributed a very generous donation to our rescue at Christmas time; instead of doing a gift exchange with each other. The timing could not have been better and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. 

 

Now that it's springtime, I really need to thank those that helped us get through the winter.  I don't know how we could have done it without the help of hay donations from our good friends, Rick and Jen, as well as the Benders of South Dakota.  I also need to thank Ann, Jim, Randy and Kris, Minnesota Thoroughbred Rescue and the wonderful woman who came to my place of employment, for their cash donations as well as all of you who continue to give on a regular basis!  Karen is much appreciated for her continual support of "Mr. Grey" , the Thoroughbred gelding with the bad feet.  One of his front feet is now able to remain unbandaged so he is on the way to recovery!

 

Spring, summer and fall just seemed to get away from me.  It is more than time to mention a few folks that really helped out when we needed it this past 6 months.  Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to:

 

Tina and Leslie for the many bags of grain, Karen and Lois for the cash donations, Dan and Stacia, Gary and the Mudgetts for the badly needed large round bales, Chris and Cinch Chix for the bale saver, Kelly for the winter horse blankets and Megan, Kathy, Katrina and anyone I forgot, for the donated tack.  You folks are so very much appreciated!

 

Update Sept. 5:  Behind again, this summer went by in a blur!  I wanted to mention the people that really came through for us over the past few months.  Ron and Karen donated trailerloads of hay from their separate farms and it couldn't have been more timely.  I actually can go into this winter with feed in my hayloft.  The two of you can't imagine the pressure that will be taken off of us when it gets tough this winter.

 

Thanks to Donna for the fundraiser saddle, Buffy for the meds, Sandy and Kris and Ann for the cash donations.  We so appreciate you thinking of us and the horses.
