I am sure you have all heard about my horse rescue attempt that ended quite sadly. I have since joined a horse rescue list and I must say that these web site are certainly an eye opener about the abuse that goes on, and very graphically pictured on these sites. I certainly was not the lone ranger in having viewed this. These rescue people actually go to the killer auction sites and try to make a difference and if only to save one or two of thousands from even the abuse that happens while waiting slaughter. I am forever changed. What state is your friend in? May I suggest adopting a horse from one of the rescues? If she is interested in a horse of color, I ran across a few that were very pretty and in need of a home. I cannot even begin to tell you the expense involved in running a shelter for horses. I am in the process of buying an additional 16 acres adjoining my new house property. It was in the stars that I was involved in trying to help this horse. We are going to set up a rescue program for this county and house them here on my property. Something that is obviously missing in this county. The two existing buildings are perfect. And I might add that one would make a perfect kennel! I will also be offering my services for foster care for Danes too. For I have found out my local humane shelter does no have cages large enough to house a big breed dog. Rhiannon
