doantions for precious miniature horses

You know Galloping Angels has a goal to raise by Dec. 5th to rescue the miniature horses in Oregon.  Please help out!  Even $5 that you would spend on Black Friday can help save some of the miniature horses.  There are several older and sick ones that need to be cared for and made fit to find forever loving homes.  These poor horses have led horrid lives.  It wasn't their fault that they had to live in like they did.  It is a season to be thankful for.

It's going to cost $260 for gas up and back to bring 6 to 8 horses at a time to our facility.  It will cost $75 a month for each horse for hay until about June.  It will cost $150 for the coggins and health certificate to take them across the state border plus we will need funds to bid on the them.

We do take donations through paypal: galloping_angels@ymail.com

Please be kind to the horses by donating some money towards their care.

Dec. 8th auction minis

We still need donations for the aution minis that is being held on Dec. 8th in Oregon.  We would greatly appreciate donations to help with these animals.  You can donate through paypal: galloping_angels@ymail.com

Funding request

We need funding to bring home miniature horses from an auction that will be held in December.

Earlier this year, over 140 miniature horses were seized by animal control from a person that hoarded these animals and  had severely neglected them.  Many of these animals are feral and a few are semi-feral.  Please help us bring as many of these little ones to our facilities were they can be tamed and then adopted out to forever loving homes.

Our paypal email address is:  galloping_angels@ymail.com

All donations are tax deductable.

Lil Dreamer

The other morning, I went out to feed the horses and to my surprise, there was a miscarried foal on the ground.  I was surprised Lil was pregnant since the stallion had been in his pen and never was out around her.   I had been told numerous times that my yearling who has never dropped could not get a mare pregnant and so I didn't think twice about letting him out with all the other horses.  Well.  The comments were wrong.  My yearling had impregnated Lil. 

The vet said she was in her second trimester when she miscarried.  The vet told me Lil would be fine.

What to write about

I asked one of the other officers what to write about since most of what is going on right now is sitting and waiting for paperwork to be completed.  And everything seems to be the same, clean up after the horses, feed the horses, and so on.  She suggested I write about Lalique because I have made some progress with her.

It took about two days after Lalique's feet were trimmed to see any attitude changes in her.  Her attitude change came along with the realization that she didn't want to be caught because she didn't want to be shifted to a new home.  I don't think she had many homes in the past, but again, maybe she had.  She appears to want a home that she had put anchors down and have other horsey family members that she knows and a human leader that she understands what they want and expect of her.  Since she was a problem child (horse) and she is an older horse, we had made the decision to keep her in the sanctuary.   She now lets me come up and pet her except for the good night pet.  This still puzzles me as to why she doesn't want for me to pet her when I go out to say good night to all of them.

If all works out well.  We should have some horses that will come in and go up for adoption shortly.  But as I mentioned earlier, things are slow because we are waiting for the paperwork to be completed.

Been doing some cleaning around the pasture.

Posted on Facebook, horse body hair for sale for those that like to spin hair/wool, etc. for $5.00 per pound plus shipping and handling.

One of the cleaning tools fell apart while Veneta was using it and so she is going to go tomorrow to get another one.

If anyone has any extra material that we can build shelters out of that they want to get rid of, we would greatly appreciate having it.

Three of the minis had feet trimmed this past week.

Trixter colicked and is now doing ok.

The mother hen, we think, was picked up by a chicken hawk because she is no where to be found.  We have her two surviving chicks on craigslist.  It was originally 4, but we lost two of them last night.  Went out this morning and the cage the chicks were in was rolled over.
