December 2010's Volunteer Work Day = AWESOME!!!!!!! THANK YOU TO ALL!

Wow! Where do I begin??? The support Safe Haven Horse Rescue received from the public that came out to help with the horses was just Amazing! Safe Haven would like to first say to Everyone who came out, a Very Heartfelt Thank YOU! Y'all worked So Hard, & let me tell you, it wasn't easy scooping the poop this time, as we have had so much rain, it is a muddy mucky mess! Look at these girl's boots! & that's a pretty small wheelbarrow, but it is HEAVY!!! Took 2 to pull it!

Judd was a mucky muddy mess too, so he got a much welcomed brushing!

Gambi & Buttercup are going to get brushed too!!! Safe Haven loves to have the minis for the kids that come out! They are less intimidating for them.

Look at Buttercup, she is so nosy!!!! Looks to me as if she is saying Hey! Whatcha doing??? Got Cookies??? These girls & their Mom have become Sponsors!!! Yeah!!!!!! & Thank You!

Another 'cart' load of wet hay out of the breezeway!!!! Good Job! & that may be hay, but it is heavy too!

Cherokee & Grady are getting brushed here! The black & white paint is Pepper, she is in her pen, But she is not so happy about having other horses close to her pen! She was just awful to poor ole Judd! We had to prop a lunge whip against the hitching post & 'threaten' to use it to get her stop charging the fence!!!! LOL!

Now, it's Drifter's turn for brushing! She really didn't see this side of Drifter till she had him tied up, he is so mud caked!!!!That poor girl's arm must have been mighty sore this am!!!!! She also did Saber!

This Lady & her Grandson,? & her Daughter,? are from the Shasta Cascade Riders, & I must say, they worked very very hard! They were cleaning out shelters at 9am! & did all the waters & cleaned the breezeways & pretty much made it possible for a bunch of  the horses to get groomed! Thank You Thank You Thank You! They have taken Minime & Dandy out to brush & for a run in the arena!

Seems to me they got an awful lot of 'exercise' themselves exercising those two!!!!!!

Yep! They pretty much chased the minis around the arena!!!!! So! Who exercised who??????

Looks to me, like the minis are DONE! All wore out ya might say! Actually, I think they took them out to clean them up from all the mud, But little sweet, Minime was being her bratty little, I'm too cute to listen to you & no I won't stand still,  Inspired the run in the arena! The Gals, know horses, & knew they had to win that little battle of the mind!!! Good job too! Sorry you had to work More!!!!!! Thank You so very much to all that came out yesterday!           You all ROCK!          Well, I'm out of room, so.......Bye for now, Linda C.
