Merry Christmas Folks!!! I hope each of you have a laughter & love filled Christmas with all you hold dear in your heart!

I know we've not posted & appreciate the messages & calls! We are doing our best to get the farm back in shape to reopen! I have learned I can pound U nails from a wheelchair ;) I can also cut old fencing from posts ;) Sitting inside isn't getting it. Whatever I can do to help, puts us that much closer to getting er done.

It's going to be a while realistically. There was so much damage to fences, barn & around the farm. But when all is done, it will be wonderful!

I am allowed half weight on my leg as of this past Monday. Anymore weight than that, the knee buckles. So I alternate for safety between crutches & a wheelchair for now. Rolator hopefully soon.

Patience we appreciate, as we work our way through this. Half of the barn has been emptied & ready for tear down. The other half has been leveled wheelbarrow by wheelbarrow of dirt brought in. Hopefully in the next month or so, we can begin to repair what's savable & rebuild what isn't. In the meantime, the fencing is our main objective & we are on it every moment we can be.

I want to take this moment to thank each of you who have stuck with us all these years, sacrificed for the herd of rescues & the mission of lifting teens, seniors & veterans. Each of you have made a huge difference for starved, often beaten horses, children, seniors in their last days & those brave who keep us free. I'm sending each of you a special Merry Christmas bear hug

Slowly my son trudges through the damage. A lot of fencing temporarily fixed, one load of dirt into the barn. Round pen removed that was destroyed. He truly is a Saint

T-bar insulators came in. Hopefully the side pasture can be repaired this weekend & will dry enough for a band of horses to return to it. Once all the pastures are fixed & shelters are repaired, then we can address the overwhelming damage to the barn. The herd is what matters & they came through without a scratch & we are soooo very grateful & blessed! Have a great weekend folks

Thanks Carrie for the info on another storm threatening the Gulf today. The predictions on it all show Florida. I think maybe I'd rather be blissfully ignorant about now. We can't take anymore water, never mind wind. So we pray girl, we pray!

Thank you Clayton for bringing the swamp buggy to get Craig out of the pasture. I am eternally grateful

10/14/2024

I have so many people, both family & friends scattered across Florida that I love so deeply. So grateful to God that though many sustained damage, all are physically here intact with their families & critters. God is so completely AWESOME ❤

Needless to say folks, but stating the obvious. Sadly we are closed until further notice.

10/14/2024

Thank you Bliss Feed & Craig for once again, always being there for this herd!!! Without you we would not make it

10/14/2024

A HUGE thank you to often unspoken heroes, our line men that work around the clock to restore power in mind blowing dangerous situations. YOU ARE THE BEST

We have a healthy, uninjured pasture full of horses with God's grace

We pray, we pray, we pray!

A HUGE thank you to each of you that dug in to help the herd

10/08/2024

Thank you Bliss Feed & Craig for the incredible service & help today getting in enough hay to keep their body warmth up through the storm. We couldn't do it without you Craig. You made it through the mud today & got those rolls in

Cat 5 180 mph winds. Prayers for all in Florida from the deepest part of my heart. PRAYERS!!

10/07/2024

Well let's hope they are right that it weakens by the time it's over us to a cat 1. The rain is scary as know the trees will fall with the winds. The ground is already so saturated. We had already had 60 inches of rain before Debbie & the rains haven't stopped daily. But we can ride out a cat 1 as long as the tornadoes stay away. Bliss is bringing in before hurricane supplies today. Then we deal with the after needed when this swamp witch is done. Prayers up for all, as no one in Florida needed another hit!

So we have another cane headed pretty much directly at us. This one will be very wet from the warnings. We are already flooded & mud. We are going to need help folks. Shavings, bales of hay, sundries for first aid, etc. Please help if you can. $5 from enough of our followers WILL make a huge difference in our struggle. Funding has been scarce since Covid. Most of our donors dropped & like all of us are struggling to survive. We don't want to hurt anyone, we are all hurting, so small donations from a chunk of our followers would be a HUGE help! Our goal is to make sure we are stocked, the herd can be made comfortable & dry. We appreciate ALL of you who support us, pray for us & give moral support

Okay folks, we are okay over here in hurricane land. It was a very rough week for us with minimal damage across the farm, besides the barn, some fencing & the loss of two very loved horses, that were sanctuary & had been here over 14 years & served up love to so many children & adults. I apologize to all that I have not posted but the loss of these 2 horses sent me spiraling down. First because I couldn't physically be with them in their passing & in all the years of rescue, I've never not held them in their crossover. I didn't get to say goodbye & truly my heart is breaking. A tree on a neighboring pasture fell on fencing, allowing them into their woods. Lots of extremely poisonous plants for horses exist here. Unfortunately Cracker & Pixie dined on them in the woods through the night. Most of these plants are incredibly tasty to horses. Our pastures are sprayed & maintained, the wild woods of our neighbors are of course not. They went down before we even knew. My son had it the roughest, as had to deal with the heart breaking loss that was a freak occurrence of farm life. One of the few times in my son's life, I've seen him openly cry. Further driving me down, because it was after all my place to handle & physically could not be there to do so.

So we are as good as we can be & grateful for what we were spared in the most massive cane I've seen in my lifetime. But our loss was & is felt deep of Cracker & Pixie & seeing Renegade who did not dine on the plants looking for his girls of 12 years. We have since put Moon Light who's always loved him, as his partner.

A special bear hug & thank you to Mr. Dino for coming & laying our girls to rest. You remain my hero with you caring & kindness in a always heart breaking moment to get to see you.

In the mean time we pray for all who's lives were forever changed. Loved ones lost, a life time of hard work for homes ..........lost. Lives changed for a long time to come. Each of you across the states hammered by Helene will remain in our prayers daily with heart felt empathy, understanding of the catastrophic turns in your lives & sincere hope that comfort can be found as you pick up the pieces in new memories to be made.
Bear hugs to all ❤
