Amy's Idea To Help
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In a message dated 2/13/2007 5:27:17 PM Pacific Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: After getting a good night's sleep and talking to a few other members of our Oregon Fjord Club, we have come up with an idea to try to help pay for the coliced colt's surgery, and maybe get him back with the family that were trying to buy him. The Oregon Fjord Club will be sponsoring a 50/50 raffle! The way it works - Tickets will be $1 each, and at the conclusion of the raffle the winner will receive 1/2 of the total money collected. The other half will go directly to pay for the surgery. We will draw the winning ticket on Sunday March 25 at the conclusion of the Northwest Horse Fair and Expo, where we will again be promoting Fjord Horses to thousands of spectators. I partially like this idea. I would LOVE to buy raffle tickets that would help benefit this little gelding. Catherine, again, showed herself to be a true horsewoman, putting the horse's health and well being above pocketbook or self. It could just be me, but I wouldn't feel as comfortable trying to get him back into the family who was trying to buy him before. Was he under their care when he colicked so badly? That isn't what would bother me so much, as accidents happen, horses get sick, despite our best care.I have a wonderful horse suffering from laminitis now with no known cause. No grain, she's not fat, she didn't get into anything, but she's got a mild fever. She has cost us, over, oh, $600 or $700 in the last few days in medical care and she's not out of the woods yet. (Now I'm getting to what troubles me about giving him back to this family). We all know that the cheapest part of horse ownership is the initial purchase. If they could not afford his medical attention this time around, what will happen if he becomes sick or injured again. And are they experienced horse people? If not, will they be able to afford his training? Just some stick-in-the-mud questions I have about what would become of the horse. That all having been said, I would still gladly buy some raffle tickets just to help defray Catherine's costs.

An idea to help!
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello Everyone: After getting a good night's sleep and talking to a few other members of our Oregon Fjord Club, we have come up with an idea to try to help pay for the coliced colt's surgery, and maybe get him back with the family that were trying to buy him. The Oregon Fjord Club will be sponsoring a 50/50 raffle! The way it works - Tickets will be $1 each, and at the conclusion of the raffle the winner will receive 1/2 of the total money collected. The other half will go directly to pay for the surgery. We will draw the winning ticket on Sunday March 25 at the conclusion of the Northwest Horse Fair and Expo, where we will again be promoting Fjord Horses to thousands of spectators. In order to keep costs down, we will not be mailing out tickets as we did for our foal raffle. So, if you are feeling generous, lucky or both, please send checks made payable to 'OR Fjord Club' and we'll enter the appropriate number of tickets into the drawing for you. It is my hope that the club and all it's generous supporters will be able to cover the entire vet bill on this colt, as I know that the cost is going to be an extreme hardship on Catherine otherwise. Please think about joining me in making this happen! Thanks.
