2008 has been extremely busy, but so very productive. At the end of the year, I have been fortunate to take some time for a much needed vacation. It has been nearly 8 years since I have been able to do so. I am rested and ready to tackle 2009 with many new and exciting programs.

In August of 2008, we were directly responsible for the rescue and rehabilitation of several starving horses. We took two, Pepper and Jacks, and others went to other homes. Both of our horses have been forfeited to the Lighthouse Farm Sanctuary where they have started their long road to recovery. Jacks is back to his regal beauty and Pepper (who was in the worst condition) is coming along nicely.

We are so glad to have you on our team to prevent animal abuse and neglect. We look forward to working even harder in the new year!

Meet Suzi

When Suzi's caretaker unexpectedly past away, no one knew how to care for this sweet little mule. Her past had been a painful as she had gotten out of her enclosure and had been hit by a car. You will notice the large knob on her left from knee (see pic above). She is a little shy, but each day she shows a little more confidence and a little more trust. We hope she will soon find a sponsor (forms are on the website: www.lighthousefarmsanctuary.org) and/or someone to come visit with her every now and again.

Another blooming pretty!

Summer Babes

It might have taken awhile to get here, but summer is here and the tree swallow chicks have something to yell about!

Clematis in bloom! Is spring is here?

Finally, it seem like we might get a spring...though it's officially summer. The veggie garden in is; most of the flower beds are in; and so are the potted plants on the deck, but the raspberries still need some attention and some other areas too!. As we had to wait for spring/summer, I guess they'll just have to be patient too!

Chevy, the Cheviot, finds new home.

Chevy was listed on Craig's List as "free for slaughter". With the physical and financial help of several people, Chevy now lives at the sanctuary. This picture was taken after his annual hair cut...shearing! He is a real sweetie...love people and my dog, Booker.

Summer Fat...

After a very wet winter and spring, I never thought I would see our horses looking like this again. Gunner, in front, Grace, behind, are all slicked up in their summer coat in the late afternoon sun. I just love the dappling in Gunner's dark bay coat.
