Our pleasure

Cash and Curtis are recovering nicely from their castration surgeries. We want to thank everyone who's made a donation or pledged one for a crochet critter, we appreciate the help. We still have one crochet donkey up for grabs, again it's available until midnight tomorrow night for minimum donation pledge of $50! We would also like to give a tremendous shout out to One Horse At A Time, Inc. for supporting these castrations and helping take a snip out of the overbreeding of these adorable donkeys.

Cash and Curtis were carted to an auction NY in the back of a van in the fall of 2023. They were babies and one was very sick. Luckily for these 2 sweet baby Aliens, Collen Segarra at Equine Rescue Resources was contacted. Her dad, and husband helped her rescue these 2 sweet things.

Fast forward to now. Cash and Curtis have thrived and become brash young boys. Full of p**s and vinegar.

It was time.

OHAAT is delighted to have been able to help geld them.

We love helping making geldings. If you think what we do is worthwhile, please help us with a donation.

Paypal is the preferred donation vehicle. Our paypal address is [email protected]

Thank you.

This sounds like a great organization. I've never heard of it before. Anyone ever been there or worked with them?

We want to extend our heartfelt appreciation to our longtime sponsor, Red Bell Run Foundation, Inc. Their unwavering dedication to our cause has been instrumental in bringing our festival to life. The festivities brimming with food, fireworks, and enjoyable activities would have been impossible without their generous donation.

Red Bell Run Foundation, Inc. serves as a vital supporter of our festival and a beacon of hope for equines throughout the United States. Through their collaboration with various rescues, they provide sanctuary to equines who are considered un-adoptable or in need of end-of-life care. From miniature hinnies and donkeys to ponies, horses, draft mules, and even Mammoth donkeys, each resident receives individualized care overseen by their knowledgeable staff, farriers, and veterinarians.

Moreover, we're thrilled to share that Red Bell Run Foundation offers Airbnb services, providing guests with an unforgettable experience amidst stunning mountains and the calming presence of Sanctuary equines. The Longears Cabin offers a serene retreat, conveniently located near the Tryon International Equestrian Center, award-winning wineries, and locally owned restaurants. Surrounded by rolling hills and over 50 of their donkeys, horses, and draft mules, guests are treated to breathtaking views and a unique opportunity to connect with these magnificent animals.

A very good read. Be part of the solution, not part of the problem

'Enough is Enough' has never rung more true.
It saddens me that I feel making this post is even necessary but my indignation and the brevity of the situation won out over that.
I am (for the time being ) putting a cap on what we will pay for emaciated,sick ,horribly pitiful horses at auction. (This pains me to even type ,as I have ALWAYS been the 'whatever it takes' girl.)
Now let me tell you WHY.
There is a growing ugly trend at the moment of individuals and traders BANKING on rescues paying exorbitant prices for horses in auction in terrible condition and flat out laughing about it when it happens.
The bad part is .....they didn't create THIS problem. I know that everyone loves to hate the kill buyers, but they did not create this particular issue.
Rescues bidding against each other for NO good reason is one huge factor in doing so ,though.
It feels as though rescues working together is becoming a pipe dream more by the day. Outbitting another rescue for fear that they will not properly care for them or knowingly keeping a horse out of a bad place is one thing..
Bidding against each other for personal reasons is an entirely different matter.
'I don't like her face' is NOT a good reason to use these horses to cause an even bigger problem.
(Doesn't the world have enough of those ?)
I've already made this too long, but in a nutshell.....
This is sick ,and it is sad.
Emaciated horses auctioning for THOUSANDS.
Mares and foals toted around to multiple auctions and bringing $2-$7,000 is not only bananas,it is encouraging people capable of bad things to do them more easily and ENABLING it.
This is one game I will not play.
Believe me when I say......right now the word 'rescue' isn't living up to what it should be.
This may well be putting a Band-Aid on a bullet hole, but I REFUSE to pay people to be horrible and laugh their way to the bank with money that could save many.
It's always the horses who pay for human created problems and I'm quite sick of seeing it.
I will always help these horses to the best of my ability, but this sick cycle carousel currently taking place in auctions..
Is a sad situation.
More to come........

Fundraiser transparency post on Little Treasures Farm campaign.

OHAAT received $302 and an additional $283 specific to having the ultrasound done. $302 was paid to the rescue's vet this morning and the ultrasound has been scheduled for next Tuesday with a different vet. Next Tuesday OHAAT will pay the vet performing the ultrasound the $283.

I think it is absolutely a requirement of any 501c3 to report a total of funds received for any fundraising effort. And that's non negotiable for me :)

One of 8 new geldings this week

He is a gelding now. Poor Baron didn’t know what “hit him”! We want to send a BIG THANK YOU to for providing our rescue a gelding grant of $150/stallion to help with the castration costs of all EIGHT stallions! We are so grateful!

Whoo hoo, we made it!! Between donations sent to us, and directly to the rescue, we reached our goal.

Rescues and rescue supporters helping each other. Networking and sharing. That's a tried and true recipe for success!

We are thrilled to give a huge thank you to One Horse At A Time, Inc. Your commitment and quick response have been nothing short of amazing. Thanks to your unwavering dedication and the generosity of your supporters, we can now confidently pay off our current bills and provide Morgan with the much-needed ultrasound. We are forever grateful for your unwavering support.
