Today's reminder that if you are selling your admittedly unsound polo pony on Facebook, a dozen people will send me the ad within 24 hours.

You can afford to keep him and retire him. Believe me, I know who's barely scraping by in polo and who's doing fine, and you're in group #2. Why not do the right thing? It is an option, you know.

BTW I sure wish that high profile university full of rich kids would figure out how to pool their resources and pay for some retirement for their polo ponies, too. Your ads trying to ditch them are all over my feed. Pasture board is $350 at a lot of places...you spend more than that going out in a month. Again, how about doing the right thing? Tell everybody they gotta chip in $50 or $100 a month toward care for the old polo ponies. Make it an expected part of participating in a college polo team.

Below is Martona, who will never stay sound for more than a ride or two again, but is greatly enjoying a well-deserved retirement, fully sponsored by her polo owners, Geoff and Grant Palmer.

Well, some good news towards our fundraiser - Renee has once again stepped up, offering to MATCH the next $1,000! So, if you donate $20, its like donating $40!. If we can do this, it will almost completely pay for the pellet delivery (Im still waiting to hear on the actual date but assume Sacate is going for a Fri or Sat delivery).

Please donate or share! Even $5 or $10 adds up!

UPDATE:
Many thanks to Patricia R, Vanessa L, Amy C, Schira C., Jan H, for $400 in donations. Added to the $1555, we now have $1955!

Headed out to feed and clean this fine morning. lm sad to report that the weekend didn't move our fundraiser at all. I was truly hoping to get some more donations, so that we start the summer with filled silos (of alfalfa pellets, so important for our elderly population). All would have been bearable if the final expenses of Paige and Maddie hadn't surprised me. But it is what it is. I assume I'll hear from Sacate soon on when they want to deliver, so we may have some time, in case you were thinking to donate to the horses' favorite expense!

This pic shows the intense search for any green sprig of grass! Im starving them .... ok, not, but that's kinda their default setting regarding food. Can NEVER have too much!
