Another week

Hello Everyone!

I know I am bad about posting. For some reason, I am just really busy at work and at home to post. It goes in spurts being super busy to not so much. My brother Rich and I are slowly moving in and also getting ready for a garage sale. Hopefully before it snows out! One thing that I have to figure out is shelter for my hay. I have plastic and tarps but it blew off of both stacks of hay last week with our huge storm. And of course if it were just a regular rain, it wouldnt have mattered. But I lost alot of hay. Well for one thing, I have to put more weight on top of the plastic and tarps. So live and learn I guess. I will building a lean-to or at least have some sort of canopy over the hay. Expensive lesson to learn. I even got some small squares of hay to suppliment. The pigs--sorry horses have eaten down most of the pasture and i am now feeding them hay again. Happens, but i was hoping not so soon. Boy they love to eat! I am now down to 11 horses. I am hoping to adopt out at least 2 more horses by the winter. I just want to make sure i can afford the horses i have before adding on more horses. If I cant add more, i hope to still help out folks with finding homes for the horses they cant keep. I can offer advertising through Petfinder.com and that is one of the BEST advertising sites ever. I get probably 90% of my adopters through that site. They see a particular horse on Petfinder and then find their way to my website or just contact me through Petfinder.com The site is great, easy to add/remove horses and their contacts and help is awesome. I really have had NO problems with them. they are quick to answer any and all questions. So please be assured that even though I am not taking in horses right now, it doesnt mean i cant help with rehoming. I also have a list of folks looking for particular kind of horses and can email them with horses that need homes. I hope to continue this rescue but may not in the capacity i have been at before. But my doors will not be shut. I also will always have room for any of my horses that have been adopted to come back. I stay in contact with most of them. Some of them more often than not. But they all know where I am. And i have faith that they are all safe and loved. the most awesome people do find the rescues and are very committed to their animals. That is what helps me do what i do!
