The "Fleet of Angels"

We are now "Angels" for an organization called "Fleet of Angels". They are a network of people who are willing to transport at risk horses to safety. For example: a horse at Camelot in NJ, needs to get to a new home in northern ME. The new owner can search the directory Fleet of Angels to find out,if needed, layover locations for both the horse/horses and transporter/transporters during their trip. We can provide stabling for 2 equines (no stallions), and housing for up to 4 people. This network covers all of the United States. If you are interested in helping, even if just helping to maintain their Facebook page, or website, please go to the above mentioned website.

Is She Safe Yet?

As I mentioned in a previous blog, I check the Camelot Feedlot horses each Thursday for polo horses. Horses are run thru the auction on Wednesday night, and ship to slaughter on Sunday, so there is a narrow time frame to pull the horses. The above mare was listed this week. Due to my current "mobility" situation, we could not take this polo mare. Squirrelwood Equine Sanctuary, located in Montgomey, NY specializes in polo horse and draft horse rescue. Upon seeing the polo mare at Camelot, I immediately emailed Squirrelwood, to see if they could take her. This morning I got the good news that they would take the mare. The next step is calling Camelot to secure the mare, transportation, and quarantine. Fortunately Squirrelwood will be able to provide these services. I will assist providing the funds for the mare's "bail". I'll keep my readers updated. Hopefully we will have saved another polo horse from ending-up on some European's dinner plate!
