Upcoming events

Just a quick update:

We're having a couple of draws, fundraising to support the horses already coming into Sadie's Place. The first one is going to be at the Charlottetown Pony Club Show at the Crapaud Exhibition Grounds on the 14th of June--a Horse Girl hat (and who doesn't want one of those?) and a bunch of horse treats (I'm buying a bunch of tickets, because I'm not allowed in the barn with out them. When did I stop being the boss around here anyway? Oh, yeah, when we got a PONY!) Tickets are cheap: $2 each or 3 for $5. Get 'em before I get them all! Thanks to Sunnybrook Farms Pet Supply in Summerside for the donation!

Second draw is a raffle, also donated by Sunnybrook (you guys are SO good to us!) Show cooler, saddle pad and a whole bunch of other show items, just in time for the "run rabbit run" season. Total value of $250, tickets still cheap at $2 each or 3 for $5. Draw will be held at the Storybook Stables show on July 4th.

We're hoping for a Father's Day draw too, but still sorting out prizes. If you have anything "Dad approved" (i.e. food or toys, *giggle, duck*) that you would like to donate, please let us know.

And, as always, still looking for loving homes and foster families. Now, go enjoy your weekend and hug a horse!

Yay for Paypal!

We're up and running with Paypal, although a few kinks to get worked out yet. Planning to include a Sponsorship button for horses as they come into the rescue--right now, mostly for any permanent residents, but maybe later for horses in need of retraining, like Off Track Standardbreds.

Please take a few minutes to look at the website and let us know what you think. What would you like to see? What do you see that doesn't work for you?

We have, at the moment, three horses looking for homes, although I'm still waiting on information to post on the site. If you have a spot, even just temporary, give us a call!

Wanted: Horses looking for new jobs!

Well, we're up and running. Not only are we looking for horses who are interested in changing careers, or even just moving to a new home, we are also looking for people interested in helping these animals change careers or living quarters. Stay tuned for more information, as more things come on line.
