Forever Morgans

11/15/2024

Looking for a last minute present or a way to bring in the New Year???

We have a limited number of these and time to get them to people for Christmas is getting SHORT. This is a great way to support Forever Morgans. Get your order in NOW! This is also a great way to support FM, because it's a fund raiser for us. It's time to get those stocking stuffers....and these are great ones.

2025 Calendars are ready! Thank you, everyone, who sent photos in for this project. Forever Morgans is a network of friends - and our horses are our friends, and that's the theme for this year's calendar. I'm going to put the screen shots up for people to see. These are screen shots, so are not at the higher resolution you will see in the final calendar. If they look a bit blurry, that's why. They are sharp and beautiful in the calendars.

They are $30.00 each which includes shipping. Each one is shipped in its own envelope. FM makes a little money off of each calendar, so this is also a fundraiser. Your purchase not only celebrates these horses who have found their way into forever homes but helps us rescue others that are waiting for that chance.

Send your orders to us via email - [email protected].

That is also our Pay Pal address. Pay Pal is the easiest way to pay. If you need something special, (sent to different addresses - that sort of thing). let us know in the email.

Update: We have had VERY FEW submissions. If we do not get more, we simply cannot have a calendar this year.

I need high-quality, high-resolution photos of YOUR Forever Morgan horse - adopted of fostered, for the 2025 calendar. Images should be 300 dpi and 8 x 10 for the best result. I can improve on ones that are not at this quality, but there is only so much that can be done.
Horizontal (landscape) are better than vertical (portrait) due to the format of the calendars.
DEADLINE - NOV. 8th.
I need permission to use each photo. A permission form is in this post. If children are shown I need a release from their parent/guardian. If a professional took the photos, I need a permission form from them. If someone other than you took the picture, I need a release from them. So many releases - but it's necessary.
Each photo should have the horse's name, the adopter/foster's name, and the photographer's name (if different).
Please send to [email protected] and put Calendar submission in the subject.
I can't wait to see this year's images!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Snip used for attention because he is so handsome.

UPDATE - Thursday AM June has been purchased by a private buyer. She is no longer available. We do not know the purchaser.
We are glad the mare is safe, although she does not have the protection against again ending up in the slaughter pipeline an FM contract offers. There were several people interested in adopting her, and we know they will be disappointed in the news that she is no longer available.

This is always a risk when we post a horse we are working in. A way to avoid this is to have a ready reserve of funds for the save so we do not have to fundraise first. Donations to the Ribbons Fund allows us to have this. Please consider donating to the Ribbons Fund. It is listed on our website https:forevermorgans.org

There are still two said to be Morgan geldings listed at the same lot. People can rescue them privately if they wish. As they do not have papers, they are outside of FMs current rescue window.

Now - to some accounting: We have $375 specifically donated for June, and $745 total donations since yesterday. If anyone who donated specifically for June's rescue would like a refund, please send us an email at [email protected]

If you want your donations for June to go to the Ribbons Fund for future rescues instead of being refunded, please send us an email stating this.

UPDATE: Cassie is STILL looking for a foster home, and it is now becoming critical. We need to move her ASAP. Please consider offering her a place in your barn or paddock. She is also available for ADOPTION.

Aquarian Star Vision
2004 Chestnut Morgan Mare - 15.0 hh
Aquarian Supremacy X Capes Olive Command
https://www.allbreedpedigree.com/aquarian+star+vision
Fostered in NY
Rescued April 2023
Adoption Fee: TBD

A new foster or adoptive home is needed immediately for beautiful Miss Cassie. And boy, is she ever beautiful.

It is our understanding that Cassie was an Amish buggy horse. She is not trained to ride but was said to drive. She is currently living as a pasture pet. Cassie is a kind horse. She has shown no inclination to kick, bite, or pin her ears towards people. She can be head shy when putting a halter on or off, especially if you move fast. She moves her head away very quickly and could hit someone not expecting it. She leads fine with no chain but is not for beginners because she can get animated. She stands well for grooming, tied or not. She allows her bridle path to be clipped with no problem despite some head shyness at times. She tolerates baths but can be a little dancey. She stands well and lifts all feet for the farrier. She is good for the veterinarian when receiving vaccines.

She is currently in an indoor double size stall that is always open to a 3-acre grass pasture. She decides if and when she wants to go out. Hay and water is always available inside. She is grained and supplemented morning and night. She has been the only horse here, so it is not known how she is with other horses, but she does not seem to be mean. She is currently in a hotwire fence that is not always on and respects it. She would likely be fine in any fence although she likes to occasionally chew wood. She paws a lot, not aggressively just casually, when she is standing around and any time of day or night seemingly for no reason as she can always go outside and always has access to hay.

She has an old scar on the right hock, but it does not seem to affect anything. She is missing 3 top incisors and 1 bottom incisor so far on the right and there are more bottom teeth that look like they will be next to fall out. However, she currently does not have any issues eating.

She has been evaluated by a vet who feels she is sound for riding and driving, but she will need additional training under saddle.

Please contact us at [email protected] for information on fostering or adopting. Forms for both can be found on our website: https://forevermorgans.org.

Heads up, good people.

We have been contacted about an 18-year-old registered mare near Claire MI that needs a foster ASAP. She is in danger of heading to auction, and we want to get her before she does. Her purchase price has already been paid. We just need a place for her to go. If you can offer this lady a place to go while we have her medically evaluated, PLEASE contact us ASAP at [email protected]

Put Michigan Mare in the subject line.

If you are already an approved foster, we can get this mare to you very quickly. If you are interested in being a foster, go to our website and fill out a foster application - we will put a rush on it. Send us an email at the above address so we know to look for it.

IMPORTANT UPDATE
We received notice from the broker that this mare has been purchased privately by another buyer and is no longer available. If you have donated to her rescue, PLEASE send us an email at [email protected] and indicate if you would like a refund, or prefer your donation is place in the Ribbons Fund for emergency rescue situations.

Thank you all very much for your support of this mare's rescue. We wish her and her new owner all the best.

And....due to the hard work of our internet gurus, we are no longer a website that pops up that dangerous website warning. Yipppeeee..

I know it was worrisome - and now it is taken care of. Visit the website (which has some updates on it), without concern well...except for falling in love with some of the horses listed.

The older horse, the companion horse, the light riding horse - are often the most valuable horses in the barn. Please consider our "not quite perfect anymore" horses when you are looking to fill a stall in your barn - and a place in your heart.

Update - he is at his foster home and is settling in well. - His foster mom says he is a sweetheart, and she can tell he has had some good training. He is looking for an adopter to call his very own.

The Forever Morgan board has just voted to provide a $100/month stipend to help offset the cost of fostering for those who step up to foster a currently boarded horse. Fosters must be approved. There are some stipulations that we will discuss privately. If you are already approved, please send us an e-mail letting us know you are interested. If you ae not already approved, applications are available on the website. http://forevermorgans.org/

Brief bios on most of the horses in boarding barns are also found on the website. We are currently updating it, so check back frequently.

Remember Frank, the cute pinto pulled from the auction yard because he had befriended an older STB Morgan mare (M & M), and we didn't want to separate them? Well... he was sent to the Appalachian Trainer Face Off, which is part of the Hearts of Phoenix Rescue, was renamed Ferrari as they already had a Frank, and Laura Lezotte picked him as her project. A few months later, he went home to the most perfect place he could - to be the beloved horse of a wonderful girl, Natalie. Today is her birthday, and they celebrate it as Ferrari's birthday, too.

Her mom told me it was OK to share this photo of the two of them together.

THIS is what it is all about. THIS is why we volunteer to keep things going at FM, and why we are always asking for donations.

THANK YOU.
PS, His old friend M & M is still looking for that forever home.

Sustaining Membership Drive
Running a rescue is more than just raising the funds to each rescue It is supporting those horses until they are placed in foster or adoptive homes. How much does this cost?

March monthly costs were $2510.00 for just board. If you add in Quickbooks, telephone, and routine medical and veterinary care, it hits $2,708.00.

If you like round numbers, it takes approximately $3,000.00 monthly for us to continue what we do.
Sustaining members who set up recurring donations really help us. It's like knowing you have a check coming in every month, so you can budget for how to fundraise for the rest.

March monthly, recurring donations were $550.00 (36 people). We appreciate every single penny of that, but it seems like such a low number of people for a nationwide rescue. We have 4.2K followers. If each one sent in a single dollar every month, we would easily meet our goal, with some left over.

Won't you consider becoming a recurring donor? It's easy. Go to our website and follow the instructions.

If you get a "privacy warning" don't worry - it's just because our site is older, and it trips on some platforms...or they trip on it.

Some of you might be getting a "privacy notice" when you try to go to our website. WE HAVE NOT BEEN HACKED. We do have an older website, however, and it seems some browsers do not want to connect to it.

We are working on fixing this and apologize for the confusion and inconvenience. In the meantime, if you wish to donate, or become a sustaining member, you can do so directly from Pay Pal. I am not sure if you can set up reoccurring payments this way.

Sustain is an amazing word. It has several meanings, but these three really hit home for me: "to uphold, affirm, or confirm the justice or validity of, "to strengthen or support physically or mentally," and "to cause to continue or be prolonged for an extended period or without interruption."

They all describe what our sustaining members do for Forever Morgans and the horses we serve.

Our sustaining members, quietly and without much fanfare are the hidden heroes of our efforts. Every month we get money from PayPal donated directly from these good souls. There is no fiery pledge drive. No emergency effort required. The funds appear and go right into our account so we can apply them to the monthly cost of maintaining the horses we have not yet placed in their forever homes. We would love to see them all in forever homes, but until them, we ensure they are well-cared for. We cover the cost of boarding for those not yet in foster, as well as medications on a case-by-case basis. Without our sustaining members, it would be difficult to continue to do so.

We want to give a HUGE Thank you to our sustaining members and ask that others consider joining them. The monthly donation does not have to be large. Remember, those $5.00, $10.00 and $25.00 donations add up to a whole lot of good, and budgeting that amount monthly is often easier than dealing with an emergency call for funds.

It's easy, too. Just go to the website. http://forevermorgans.org/

Congratulations to the handsomest boy, RKT Nordic Ebony Jewel and his new family. He has been adopted and is shown here blowing a kiss to all his fans. Silly boy, we look forward to hearing about your wonderful adventures in your forever home.

This is why we do the things we do.
