What's Happening
GELD YOUR COLT
2010




Spirit Wind Horse Rescue will be starting a new program called Geld Your Colt.  Thank to a grant from the ASPCA, we are finally able to put this program in place; and we hope that in the future it will grow to a point where we will be able to help more Delta County Residents and their horses. Our goal is to diminish the number of unwanted horses in Delta County.

We realize that due to the economy, the thought of finding the money to geld ones colt is probably very far from the minds of horse owners, who are struggling to just feed their horses.  However we are hoping that this program will be able to ease that situation a little, by having Spirit Wind Horse Rescue pay for half the surgery for those willing and wanting to geld their colts.  Spirit Wind Horse Rescue will also consider gelding older studs, depending on age and health of the horse, which will be determined by the veterinarians taking part in this program.

 There seems to be a trend in the growing amount of neglect cases, abandonment cases and the growing rate of healthy horses sent to Mexico for slaughter.

If you would like an application or further information regarding this program please either email spiritwind@tds.net for an application or call Beth Keenan at 921 5646

KIDS PASTA PROJECT

In November the Kids Pasta Project hosted a dinner for Spirit Wind Horse Rescue.  Kids serve the community every week by preparing and serving a freshly-made pasta dinner and donating the profits to local causes. 

It was a great success and here is the excerpt from their Newsletter.



Last week's dinner
The dinner for Spirit Wind Horse Rescue was a success!  There were 28 reservations on Sunday, and on Monday afternoon Jo was having to ask people to come another time! 

Number of guests: 42
Amount donated:  $175

Something to note:  The prize, a beautiful framed print, was donated by Spirit Wind Horse Rescue!

Many thanks to the volunteers and to Spirit Wind Horse Rescue for partnering with us!
Thank you to all the wonderful children who made this a great fun filled evening, we hope we can be part of it again next year. 







MEET BLAZE

Blaze is our newest addition. Thank you to our Strawberry Roan Fund we managed to buy a horse from the sale that was headed for slaughter.  Blaze is a sweet although a little shy strawberry roan, he is believed to be around 5 years old.  He is in a wonderful foster home in Delta and is being given the best treatment.  Blaze will be starting his training in the Spring of 2010, we are hoping to then start finding him his forever home.  Blaze is the first horse rescued from this fund. If you would like to find out more about saving Delta horses from slaughter or to donate to this fund please contact us.

Feather joined Spirit Wind Horse Rescue in August of this year, she was saved by a kind soul who nursed her back to health and then asked if Spirit Wind could take her, of course we could, how could we not,.  Feather is a sweet little Arab who was looking for her forever home. It did not take long before she met her new mom Deborah. Feather now called Cloud is home. Thank you Deborah for adopting her.
