Cowgirls for a Cause UPDATE: The General in general need

Ever since our newest equine rescue, The General, came to live with us after his extended time on the track, he has been a doll! The sweetest big boy you’ll ever meet…loves his peeps and loves his new pony pack! Unfortunately some much anticipated donation promises have yet to come through and my dear friend Tricia at Equinox Farms (The General’s current home…lucky boy!) has been fronting all of General’s feed, supplements and care since his arrival.

Ever since we started Cowgirls for a Cause, I have had so many wonderful friends & acquaintances ask how they can help. And I always told them we’d let them know.

So….with the spirit of Christmas in the air, I am asking (unbeknownst to Tricia & Wanda!) anyone who might be interested, or for those that have been wondering how they can help, to make a donation towards The General’s feed for this coming month. Anything will help…cash (obviously), feed donations, shavings, supplements, etc.. It costs roughly $175 each month for The General to have a full belly and a stall full of shavings each day…THAT’S IT! Everything else is taken care of.

I’m not usually one to ask for help (ask my husband), but I figured $175 is probably just a few cents more than what most of us spend at Starbuck’s in a month. And in exchange for your frothy Gingerbread Latte, a dark faced sweetheart gets a new chance at life.

Consider it, pray about it, talk it over with your spouse. If it’s something laid upon your heart to do, please just drop me an email with your intentions or send a check/money order made payable directly to Tricia Meteer to:  P.O. Box 12682, La Jolla, CA 92039. I PROMISE EVERY SINGLE DIME OF IT will end up in General’s skinny little belly!

Thanks for the thoughts. And because a blog post is always better with a few pictures, here’s a few recent shots of The General out getting to be a normal horse. xo
