Genesis 2:19-20
19 Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.
20 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all the wild animals. But for Adam no suitable helper was found.

$5 FRIDAY 💸

Good morning, Double H friends & family. It’s five dollar Friday today!

•What is ”five dollar Friday”? It's an opportunity for each follower to donate $5 to help support the needs of the rescue.

•”How does your donation help?” Great question! Due to the severe winter conditions we are experiencing, any donation received will be going towards our hay fund. We have been having to buy hay WEEKLY for all of the animals here on the farm, needless to say, our hay bill has tripled! By donating just five dollars, that is one square bale for the farm, or will be put towards a round bale ($60 each).
We are currently purchasing 3 round bales per week / $180! Additionally, we are preparing to possibly take in a few more rescue horses. So, you can see, we really need your help!

As you know, due to the very high cost of vet bills we incurred for Stormy‘s medical stay and continued care, our funds have depleted.

Just $5 from 12 followers buys the animals a fresh round bale. YOUR contribution towards our hay fun is a blessing and greatly appreciated!!

CHECK IN: Nugget is dropping in to say hello!! His mom, Nichole, shared an update with us to say he's doing great and no weather bothers him as long as he has treats! He was adopted from us back in the fall. We love you, Nugget ♥️

UPDATE ON STORMY: Our favorite little guy, Stormy, is overall improving quite well. He is eating A LOT, his stool is normal again, he's drinking well, and he's quite feisty. We let him out for some snow time today and I can't count the times he rolled! He loved it!! We still have him on the gastric meds, liver support, vitamin supplements and special diet, but LOOK WHAT WE HAVE ALL ACCOMPLISHED TOGETHER!! THANK YOU to those who donated! Whether you give $1 or $10,000, it makes a difference in the lives of these animals! BELIEVE THAT.

While Storm Cloud is on the upswing, we do still have the matter of the medical bill from UGA. The final total was $5243. To date we have raised $1616. Just like Stormy, we have a long way to go.

If each of you can spare $10 towards the medical bill, it will help take the pressure off so we can financially continue to care for all of the other animals as normal. Just $10 each. Below are the ways you can donate:

Again, we deeply appreciate each of you. Without your support, Double H Farm & Rescue would not exist!

PRAISE REPORT:
Remember Little Man? The first picture is November 24th when we recovered him from the individual we allowed to adopt him. The second picture was about 30 minutes ago. A 7 week difference. Goes to show what a healthy diet, proper care, and a whole lot of love will do for these animals! Thank you to our donors and thank you to God for His grace!

We’re beginning to thaw out! How about everyone else? Still snow and ice or slush? 🥶

"Don't stay in the boat, when God is calling you to walk on water."

There is an old pony in a big pen by the barn. He has no real purpose. No kids ride him, he is not a companion to another old horse.
We have no history together. He came into my life by happenstance. There are no fond, warm fuzzy memories. I owe him nothing. But he’s polite and kind, and nickers to me as I come out the door in the morning.
He eats a princely sum of special food, and has a premium round bale of irrigated grass that the other horses can only dream of. His water is fresh, and warmed in the winter. I’ve gone out there late at night to make sure he has food, and he’s the first thing I attend to after morning coffee.
Why? Why not send him to the sale where ‘someone’ will want him? At 40 cents a pound, he’d be worth a nice steak dinner and drinks in town. They’ll load him on a truck with 30 other old ponies and horses, and somewhere down that line, if he doesn’t fall from his bad knee and get trampled in the transport, he will become dog food.
There’s a bum calf in our scale house on this cold frosty night. He’s little and scrawny, with p**p stuck to his butt, and a bit of a runny nose. There’s a heater in there keeping the temp above freezing. In the morning I’ll make him a bottle of warm milk replacer and try to convince him to eat some of the pony’s special food. Bob will clean his little house and put down fresh bedding. It would be easier to have left him in the field with the 500 bigger, stronger calves, to steal milk from the occasional tolerant cow, to eventually freeze to death and feed the coyotes that lurk about the herd for just such an opportunity.
There is a wild kitten in the barn who most likely jumped off a utility truck a while back. We’ve been leaving food just for him, and making sure the heated water bowl is full, so he doesn’t have to go outside and perch precariously on the horse waterer to drink.
I guess we sound like saps, the old cowboy and I. Sort of wimpy and un-ranch like.
I guess we are. But at our age, with certain infirmities starting to creep into our daily routines, and the realization that we are not perfect, we are thinking that kindness is a virtue and care is our purpose.
Care of not just the healthy robust animals that make money and pay the bills, but care of everything we are capable of caring for - those creatures that, like us, are in need of a bit more attention to get through the day.
We didn’t go about seeking these creatures- they came to us and landed here not of their own choosing, or ours. But here they are, and off I go to town to a business that provides enough to buy the expensive milk replacer, premium hay, and special pony food.
There may be some karma in all this, or maybe not, but in the end we’ll know we did the best we could for those that needed us.
Peace. Really, I mean it.

It’s definitely snowing here on the farm, and our animals seem to have mixed feelings about it.🤣

Rain, sleet, snow...it doesn't matter. More reliable than the USPS. Feeding and chores don't wait!
