Carolina Equine Rescue & Assistance

11/28/2023

Please welcome Ms Daisy to CERA. She was a guardian for cattle all her life, she’s 12 years old. Doesn’t understand what love & affection is, she had a job and that’s exactly what she did. Take a close look she has a rolled back right foot which probably cannot be corrected at her age. She’s very timid and shy but starting to warm up to me. Once I can gain her trust I will have the vet and farrier out to access her. I’m giving her all the time she wants to come to me. It’s so hard when I don’t know their past. This is the type of equine that ends up at auctions and then…….well, I think you can figure out where she would have ended up. I’m so glad Daisy found me. If you would like to sponsor or help with her care and donate we accept Zelle & PayPal. Thank you so much.

Giving Tuesday

Hi all, Erica here.

Have you ever sat and talked with Darlene about the work she does? She will tell you that there’s a moment when a new horse joins her farm, when it realizes it is safe and loved. She looks into their eyes and she can see the most beautiful thing. She can see hope.

Darlene can see hope and a will to survive in the eyes of a horse from a hundred paces, but I am not that skilled. Sometimes it is hard for me to see. But sometimes, the hope is a blaring, loud thing. That horse is desperate to be saved.

When Darlene calls to ask me for help, I see a horse’s eyes brimming with hope in my mind. I hope you do too. I know that every bit of help I can offer might mean one more horse gets saved. One more pony has a reason to hope.

Every dollar that comes into CERA directly helps a horse. And every single dollar makes a difference.

Giving Tuesday is this week. Make a donation, if you can. If you can’t give money, find some time. If you don’t have time, share this post. Every little thing is a help. Give them reason to hope.

Ok everyone. I did something really stupid. If my kids did what I did I would have stopped them immediately. Last night I was trying to cut the casing off of pepperoni with a very sharp pointed knife, you see how that went. I didn’t go to ER but went to urgent care this morning. Too late to have stitches and got infected really fast. I’m on antibiotics and have to make an appointment with ortho Carolina, possible nerve damage cant touch my thumb to my fingers. Hopefully the swelling will go down and all will be fine. I can’t grip anything so I need help with chores. The days I need help are Tuesday & Wednesday at 3:00. Thursday morning 9:00. Thursday afternoon 3:00. And Friday afternoon 3:00. You will need experience leading a horses. Please, if anyone can help me I would so appreciate it. Thank you.

Does anyone have a few hours spare time to groom a few horses for me? The reason I’m asking is because when I had the seizure a few years ago I have permanent nerve damage in my right leg & foot. I’m concerned I will loose my balance with the bigger horses & add in me being short and old that could be a disaster at my age. Please let me know. Thank you.

The Story between a rider and their horse is a magical experience, but what happens when the horse no longer has a rider?

My Papa Tony in heaven. I know you don’t want to remember today because the memories of Veterans Day are too horrific for you. I’m very proud of you and miss you so much especially on the weekends when we would talk numerous times a day. You fought for this country and for all of us to be free. You were my rock my inspiration you taught me to be kind compassionate and caring not only for animals but people also. You taught me how to fight for what I believe in. And I will always do that for the animals. I think about you every day and miss you more than you can imagine. Thank you Papa.

Below are ways you can donate. Any amount is greatly appreciated. Thank you so so much. Darlene🥰

Next: CERA is on a roll with many good things happening. Please welcome Dr Heidi. We now have a professional grant writer. WOOHOO!!!
I have attached a short bio that I found on her website. Nonprofits everywhere are struggling to stay afloat. There have been times that I have had my doubts that CERA would be able to make a comeback. Now with Dr Heidi’s help I do believe we will make it happen. Thank you so much Dr Heidi, another angel sent from above to lend a helping hand.

I have one more thing to share with you. My girl Molly is now able to be back in the barn, her most favorite place to be. I couldn’t take her to the barn earlier because there was too much construction going on. She is back in her happy place and back at my side making sure I am ok and watching over all the animals. 💖

Next: I have finally found the best farm hand/ handy man/ jack of all trades/ family man to help me on the farm. He is like an angel sent to me from God. I have struggled for years looking for a person like him. Meet Chris, he can handle any animal, build anything, fix & repair just about anything. He is literally a jack of all trades, and as many of you know they are hard to find especially for women who run farms. He’s also a good hearted family man. His wife and kids all come to the farm to help out. Finally a family that is teaching their children actual hard working life skills. And also helping out a nonprofit that saves animals. How perfect is that!! Chris, Tabitha, Michael, Rider & Hannah thank you all so much from the bottom of my heart. You are all truly angels!!
