Ginger - a kill pen rescue,saved by Shirley & "crew"




Safe Haven's volunteer Tracey, who is quite the Appy gal, is in the pen w/ Ginger, coaxing her to take a cookie from her hand. Tracey has been taking care of Ginger & doing what she can to gain her confidence. She is not halter broke!!!! Marlene & Steve had quite the time getting her to transfer from Marlene's trailer to Steve's!!! Ginger did not want to leave the mares she had been with, & that's when they found out she wasn't even halter broke......so, necessity, being the mother of invention.......Marlene & Steve.....backed their trailers up to each other & finally got Ginger to transfer to Steve's!!!!!!! Needless to say they were both outraged at the fact no one ever did any type of training on this mare, just used her to make more babies :( What a shame it is that she has missed out on the joy of a relationship with a "kind" human. That will all changed now that she is at Safe Haven :) Our Tracey has adopted an Appy that came in on another "rescue" from Shirley a few months back, her name is Bailey. Tracey has worked really hard at bringing her up to be a good riding companion, & has a done a wonderful job w/ Bailey. I'd like to send out a huge THANK YOU to Shirley & her "crew" for all the fundraising & placing & delivering of all the ones they have saved from slaughter! The "crew" is all the helpful horsey lovin' people who donated to the cause, bumped for the cause, challenge each other for the cause, & finally saved all these beautiful creatures. YOU ALL "ROCK" Thanks for all that you all do!!!!!!!! Bye for now, Linda C.
