Heartbreaker CL ad, now Heartwarming Story: OldChestnutMare's Golden Retirement!

Send me the paypal please for where to send a dribble? Got a refund coming this year from the IRS so I can put some towards an old lady in need…

We have some seriously generous folks on COTH. Dribble received from cloudyandcallie, farmgirl598, bathsheba8542, littleum, and Lori B! So sweet! I know this girl will probably need coggins pulled, and I am waiting to hear back on whether or not she even has a halter for this girl. So excited to get her out and home, I will definitely have my camera on hand when we move her!

Please send me you pay pal so I can send in some money. Thanks for all that you are doing.

This is so cool…hopefully we hear back from the owner soon!!

send me your paypal too and I will send what’s stuck in my account. Not much, but may as well be used.

Please send me the paypal! I’ll do what I can!

Remember, don’t feed the old girl too much when starting out. And beware of worm impaction when worming.[/QUOTE]

Very good points! I’m trying to find the article on refeeding syndrome that was so good. It addressed when to worm, etc. Can’t find it now, but here is a decent one just about feed – http://www.starvinghorses.com/Refeedingsyndrome.html

You know with all the extra blankets around, we need a blanket thread on coth for needy horses. As soon as the old mare makes her selection, of course. And what is her name? Barn name? I guess, unless her papers are with the owner.[/QUOTE]

Great idea, we should definitely start a blanket thread. :yes:

And let’s start brainstorming for names! Or should we wait until we see pics? Or maybe leave that up to B&G, since she is taking the mare?

Anyways, YAY!! So happy to see COTHers saving this old lady.

Oh wow I forgot about halter and lead rope. Drat, I have an extra leather halter too. (Hattie just got her first new halter ever thanks to the VTO leap day sale announcement on coth.)

And maybe we all could be the “Syndicate to Save (name of mare)?” or something cooler than that? If Bluengrey wants to give her her barn name, that’s great. Or we could have a contest, with everyone paying a dollar or two, to name her. More money for her expenses which will be considerable. Or maybe “syndicate of cothers saving (X)?” SOCS_

I’m going with Ginger (from Black Beauty). She was always my favorite horse while all the other girls wanted Beauty or the Black Stallion. And she was chestnut. Altho she did not end up well in the end. So maybe a better name with a happy ending in life? Harmony was a chestnut, but he was a gelding.

How about Many Animal Friends In Association? Or, “MAFIA” LOL.

Can someone send me the email address for PayPal transfer? Yes, I have been sucked into this thread on my phone and decided I had to get on the computer and figure out if I still have an active PayPal account. :slight_smile:

I think I have PM’d everyone who has asked so far…please let me know if I have missed you. And everyone keeps apologizing for not sending “much” but together it becomes a lot and we are well on our way to everything this girl needs…ransomed, halter, coggins, vet care, feed. You guys not only shouldn’t be apologizing for the size of your donations, but bragging on helping!!! It is overwhelming how wonderful COTH folks hour in the darkest hour of this girl’s need. :slight_smile:

You missed me!

I still remember oh so well the story of the COTH Christmas Pony and that special time when COTHers banded together to save a kind soul, so my donation is in honor of Tim and those who helped save him.

Don’t forget little Leo, the mini. That was some story too. :sadsmile:

Looks like I missed everything. Day late and a dollar short…

I’m just down the road and if anyone needs an extra hand, whether it’s for assisting with loading, trailering, inspecting, etc, just holler. My schedule is open.

I don’t do PayPal and after being burned by some folks on this BB I’m no longer contributing to causes posted on COTH threads. Since the new owner works with Peiedmont Equine perhaps I can work directly with the owner and our vet.

Send me a pm, or Liberty can call if she still has my number.

It was a mild winter and it’s quite possible the mare is in good body condition, just needs some TLC.

What will you name her? Sorry but at 35, pretty sure she already has a name! Why would you change it now.

Congrats to all you helping her. Hope everything goes well.

Jswan,
I volunteered to trailer if necessary. You’re always welcome to ride shotgun with me!

Things like this thread renew my faith in mankind.

I’m in for 50!! Where do I send it? I’ve also been going thru all my stuff for the last few months and have lots of extras lol. I was planning on donating some stuff to a local rescue and I would like to help this mare too. I have extra blankets of various weights and sizes so hopefully I have something that will fit her:). I also have extra halters and lead ropes if that would help.

Yes has the trailering been finalized as yet? The coth posse rolls up and loads old mare and off she goes to her new home. This will be great!

And now she has lots of blankets to choose from. A girl can never have too many blankets, turnout and stable.!:lol:

I am standing by to trailer Thursday afternoon and Liberty has offered to ride shotgun. I haven’t heard from anyone if anything is set or if someone can pick her up earlier. Someone just let me know!
