Media coverage for Safe Haven for EQUINE FLU Outbreak!

The local news channels were at Safe Haven Horse Rescue on Tues. 1/26/10 to get the word out to the public about the outbreak of Equine Flu in our immediate area, & to help raise monies for the much needed nasal vaccines!!! I just LOVE this picture!!!! Carrie Marchese is seeing if she can give Zipper & Owen both a treat at the same time!!! So FUN!!! (Mocha in the background says; I want one!) Linda R. is being interviewed by Carrie.

Josh is being interviewed! Josh is a T/B who had a sarcoid tumor (cancerous) growing on his eyelid, so his eye had to be removed! He's fine now tho! Thank You FOB's!

Now it's Zipper's turn! Zipper is a T/B, Percheron cross & is a product of the AWFUL PMU industry! Maggie saved him & Splash from going to slaughter, when they were just babes! Thank You Maggie! Look Zip looks like he's talking!!!! TOO FUNNY!!
Now it is Grady's turn! Grady is a Quarter horse, very nice gelding, & is up for adoption at Safe Haven Horse Rescue.OH BOY! Carrie has found the COWS!!!! Gosh she just doesn't KNOW the RULES!!!! & the Rules are; SAMMY FIRST!!!!! Course those are Sammy's rules! but Bessie is enjoying getting a treat first!
