Delta Dawn, makes the newspaper & local TV channels!

Delta Dawn, the emaciated mare, @ Safe Haven Horse Rescue, is making quite 'the stir' with the local medias, here in No. Cal. She was featured in the Red Bluff Daily News, newspaper this week, & then Channel 24 - KNVN's reporter, Phil Schmidt interviewed Linda Richards, on Tuesday. Today, KRCR's reporter, Misa Maruyama was at the ranch for an interview. This is how Delta Dawn took the 'news' of her being on tv again!!! All she had to say was; "WHAT!!!!!" That's what I think this pic says anyway. Isn't she just so cute!!!! Dave & Cori came out to the ranch also, we gave each other moral support, poor Linda R. had to face the camera all by herself!!!!! She did an excellent job, by the way!!! Cori had Zipper in the arena for a run, & here he is meeting Misa. He's the biggest horse we have, & is Cori's baby boy!
Misa is at Delta Dawn's pen & is setting up the camera & also calming me & Cori down!!! LOL

Misa was very shocked at Delta Dawn's condition, & we explained to her that Delta Dawn is an ABUSE case, not a by product of the 'economy' as her condition just didn't happen over nite! Someone saw this happening to her, & chose to do NOTHING! for a very long time!



We talked about how long it will take to put the weight back on Delta Dawn, & that she has 'the heart of a stallion' in the WILL, she has to live!!!! That's where I fit in the Fans of Barbaro, in the conversation, as it was an FOB, who first said the phrase! I also talked about Drifter & Josh & a few of the other horses, the FOB's have helped Safe Haven with!




We had quite a pleasant morning with Misa. I am sorry, not to have been able to take pics of Phil, while he was at the ranch. Guess he'll just have to come back again!




Misa decided that she was comfortable enough to actually go into Delta Dawn's pen & give her a few pets. Oh, by the way I delivered............ kisses, skritches, & pats & hugs for everyone :]





Delta Dawn decided that it was her turn to talk into the microphone, & this is what she said "Thank You Everyone, Thank You........ for all the concern you have for me! I can feel the love you are all sending to me.......& I am feeling better, & better every day!" NOW, what's for lunch??????






Hope you enjoy the pics of Delta Dawn & her interview w/ Misa. Safe Haven wants to say THANK YOU to everyone who has helped out with Delta Dawn.
Bye for now,
Linda C.
