Urgent: Transworld mares and youngstock

TY that’s great news. And oh what a time of year to be loading and shipping previously unhandled young and old livestock in Colorado.

Epona is 72 yrs old (if I am correct?) I don’t mean to broadcast that but I think that it speaks to garnering a whole ton of respect for what she has been physically and emotionally dealing with this past week. Bless the person that sent her $50 and said make it your gas money and buy yourself a cup of coffee and a lunch out there and the people that are in effect helping foster one of these babies or mares. That’s a great spirit and show of support that someone really needs when they are working this hard to do some good on this earth. Having this support from good-hearted people keeps all of us connected in the kind of ways that we all need to keep going. I feel like it energizes all of us.

She has to pay for help with the shipping, too many for just her own trailer and she needs physical help; and she is using another place to quarantine what she gets. So she’s paying for that also.

I hope that all of these get placed where their bloodlines will be preserved and appreciated. It’s a long road of medical intervention and ground work training to make them presentable. Most have never been haltered! nor taught to lead. So this is quite the undertaking to even transport them and then do the necessary vet and farrier care. :eek: not to speak of the daily management. Epona can’t get knocked down by a big wild baby anymore. We all know the scenario.

So everyone hang tight and we will get our seasonal miracle.

Epona really is a saint and I’m hoping that it’s true that all are safe!!! I’d take one but I’m completely out of room. I’ll send a dribble when I get paid.

Will someone please send me a PM with the address or Paypal information on how to send money?

Can someone send me her paypal for my dribble? No one has contacted me since I offered days ago.

Who else needs the PayPal info? I will do a group pm when I get home.

I just sent epona a private message. When I get info on where to send money I will post it here. I’m trying to talk myself into taking one (if any are still available! )

I’m needing contact/payment info please.

Simkie, I need the PayPal info!

I have sent. Let me know if anyone else needs it.

Me, too!!! I tried work with the feedlot facebook but no luck. I am hoping when all settles down to work out getting one. And, folks, remember, the pregnant mares will be dropping foals so they are really in eventual need of TWO homes.

I need the paypal info!

Sent :slight_smile:

And yes, FatDinah, I think you need one (or two :))

Just wanted to pipe in and say how very proud I am to know all of you…to use a Willem-ism, this it be right. Am all verklempt for COTH’s Christmas miracle. No matter what denomination or affiliation, it IS a miracle.
Thank you, each and every one.
D.

It is a bit of Christmas miracle, isn’t it? :slight_smile:

Epona sends her thanks and gratitude. Sounds like she’s had a very long day of loading and unloading horses in two loads. I’m sure she’ll stop in to thank you all personally once things are a bit more settled and she’s had the chance to catch up here.

I have not shared much about the stallion Whotoldyouthat–who I am calling Fellow–but we could use some jingles tomorrow. The vet is coming out to evaluate him. He is just so kind and sweet and well mannered and I’d really like to give him a chance. Tough choices ahead. Poor Fellow, indeed. Sigh.

Loads of Jingles!!!

Did she get them all? No horse left behind from that group?
Jingles for Fellow and the others

I am pretty sure from a PM she sent that she did in fact rescue them all.

Major Jingles for poor Fellow. sigh.

Keep the dribbles coming as I’m sure Epona could use any little bit of help.

Christmas Miracle Indeed!

I received an update from epona. All nine are safe. She will start figuring out who is who and if papers are available. So stay tuned, the chance to get one is coming soon. :slight_smile:

Oh and she said the chestnut gelding is an appendix qh.

I am so thrilled these horses were saved. I only wish the two little ones the vet took could have been too. A Christmas miracle on COTH.

Me too, Simkie, please.

Thank you, epona, and everyone who has stepped up to help.

So glad I read this thread. Epona, amazed how this worked out, dealing with those feedlot rescues can be very confusing/difficult, so pretty amazed you managed to provide a safe landing to so many.
