Willie aka Joey goes home.

 

Wanted to share a happy ending with you guys..... the "official story" will be out in detail for cross posting and press release after Christine gets home and is able to put it into an email :>) but here is a sneak peak...

About 60 days ago in the same kill pen was a paint gelding that we fundraised for he had one blue eye and one brown eye, high white socks and was a little older -had an obvious larger knee from calcification but came right to me out of the group of horses and had my heart immediately!  With the help of the FOB's "Willie Nelson" (Doc Holt named him) was at AC4H safe and awaiting another chance at life.  I don't know if you guys read the story of Brittany and Nicole who came from Long Island to PA to save a horse from slaughter??  If not I will post it here for you.  Turns out Nicole recognized Willie as Joey from a lesson stable in LI she informed us he had even competed in the special olypics.  Around the same time Christine called in tears saying that she knew the horse Willie Nelson as Joey and sent us to a website to see his picture at first we thought she had the wrong horse but she identified the brand that wasn't visable on the pictures and Nicole said she knew Christine (small world) and it was definately Joey!  Christine had told the lesson barn that she wanted him if they ever wanted to sell him but they didn't call her... the next thing she knew she saw his picture on the AC4H website as saved from slaughter ... she submitted her application and today tears of joy streamed down her face when they were reunited.  Willie aka Joey immediately started rubbing his head on her as if to say I remember you and you didn't forget about me!  The pictures below are from this morning ... 

 

   

A winner!!!  She won green reserve champion and pleasure.

I thought you might like another success story to add to your list - it really is proof that these are great, deserving horses and ponies you all are helping to place! Here is the buckskin pony we bought off the broker-owned page just a few months ago. She carried my 4 year old daughter in her first show and is a much-loved lesson pony. People at the show kept coming up to us and commenting on what a beautiful pony we had. She sure does clean up well - she looked like a million dollars! I will be keeping my eyes on your web pages for another golden find like her for more of my lesson kids to enjoy!  Thank you again for all you do.  Lillian Halvorsen

Hi, Christy - I wanted to take a minute to send you some pictures of "Charlie Horse," the Belgian you found for me about two years ago at the auction.  You probably remember that you found Charlie for me at the auction after things did not work out well with Sugar, the Belgian mare I bought from North Dakota.  Charlie was definitely a diamond in the rough.  I remember you said you were bidding against the "meat man" that day at the auction and I am so glad you won. With a little TLC, a little patience and a lot of food and exercise, Charlie has turned into a wonderful, wonderful horse.  He's a great trail horse and a safe ride for anyone... kids, adults, beginners.. you name it. He is as bomb-proof as they come and he's even helped a few "beginner" trail horses learn the ropes out in Patapsco State Park.  Everyone loves Charlie and I am so glad you found him for me.  I think Charlie is the happiest of all and definitely the most grateful - he has a safe, happy forever home and miles of trails to look forward to, thanks to you.
