Fundraisers!

JOIN THE 30-MINUTE WALK FOR THE HORSES

SATURDAY, MARCH 17, 2012

You can help the horses of Project Sage Horse Rescue by participating in your own fundraising walk – a short, but healthy, half-hour walk on Saturday, March 17th,. You can either walk by yourself, or encourage others to walk with you. Any time of the day! Walk in your neighborhood, park, a track, boardwalk, riding ring...anywhere!

Get your friends, relatives & co-workers to sponsor your walk for $1 per minute for up to thirty minutes – coinciding with 30 horses that call Project Sage their home while they wait for their forever adoptive homes.

Also, please encourage those who walk with you to do the same with their friends, relatives & co-workers.

What better way to spend a half-hour than by taking a nice early-Spring walk on St. Patrick's Day and all the while knowing that you're making a huge contribution to the lives of 30 wonderful spirits.

It's easy, after your walk, send your donations to Paypal address: projectsagehorserescue@gmail.com

or mail checks to:

Update

So I guess I haven't updated in a while, things have been crazy, we've had a rough winter. But from all bad things, good things always follow.

Last month our pregnant mare Journey gave birth to a gorgeous filly, Miley. She had a rough delivery and had an even rougher time passing the after birth. Miley was welcomed to the world a month or so early and has some severe complications. I drove up to PA the day after she was born and she died in my arms two hours after I got there. After being so excited to meet this little angel we lost her. The word heart break doesn't really cut it. Kim and I cried holding her little body. We let Journey say good bye to her, she nickered softly to her sweet baby after she crossed the rainbow bridge. We picked a peaceful to place to bury Miley and all said good bye. I was shocked that god took this new life away from us so soon. Journey had already dealt with so much in her life and to lose this baby was a low blow. She stood in the back of her stall with the look of defeat in her eyes. Who could blame her...

After a day or two many people suggested looking into a nurse mare foal. If you have a strong stomach google it and read about this disgusting industry. At first I was skeptical, we had all had our hearts broken already, why risk it again? Well we found a great rescue, Last Chance Corral, with the help of a Facebook friend. After speaking with the rescue we matched Journey up with a 5 day old foal. We raised the funds to transport him from Ohio to PA and a few days later he was trotting off the trailer to meet his new momma. When Journey laid eyes on him she whinnied with delight. This started a new relationship for mother and her adopted son. Over a week later they are inseparable, Journeys milk came back in and Myles is nursing now. As we watched them last night munching on hay I could not help but think about the angel we lost. Out of every tragedy must come a victory. Myles is truly a victory for us, Journey lost her baby and Myles lost his mommy and Project Sage brought them together. Gotta love happy endings.
