NEW BABY

Introducing Onyx. She was born at the rescue a few weeks ago. Pictured with her is her proud mama, Molly. Molly is a sweet pony with a great temperment.

THE SHOW MUST GO ON

"Soul of a Horse" will happen on August 29th!! Come see us at Emma Creek that day. :)

MOTHER NATURE

We had to cancel "Soul of a Horse" last weekend. Soon as we thought the rain was going to stop, it'd start up again. Then we saw another storm was to be coming. And by that time, there was so much standing water out at Emma Creek the show just couldn't go on. Good news though! We have rescheduled it for August 29. Get your lawn chairs ready, and we hope to see you there!! :)

COME ON SUNSHINE!!

8:45 AM -- The rain is coming down, but is supposed to be moving out. As of right now the show is still on. Some of the guys spent last night putting a roof on the stage. Don't forget your lawn chairs!! :)

CONCERT THIS SATURDAY (6/20)

It's almost time for our benefit concert!!! Please check out the special website we've created for it at http://hopeinthevalley.weebly.com/ - It will be at Emma Creek Farm, 2914 S Emma Creek Road, Halstead. Gates open at noon. Pre-show at 1PM. Show starts at 2PM, and we are expecting it to go until at least 11PM - possibly later.

BACK IN THE SADDLE

I know, I know... I've fallen behind on the blog again. Things have been busy busy at the rescue. We have a big event coming up on June 20. A benefit for the rescue. A concert at Emma Creek Farm (www.bluesbythetracks.com). We would love to see you there!

We also have a handful of new rescues. Sadie, Badger, Cowboy, Buddy, and one yet to be named. When they are ready for adoption, I'll get their info and pics on the website. Badger and Cowboy (two very handsome Paint geldings) have already had someone fall in love with them, so hopefully it won't be long before they are off to their forever home.

Here's a pic of Sadie shortly after she arrived. Thankfully she has gained some weight, but she still has more to gain before she's ready for adoption.

A HEARTFELT THANKS

A story about our rescue published in The Wichita Eagle this past Saturday, and the story was also on FOXnews.com. We have had an overwhelming response - and it's been so great! Thank you to everyone who came out to the rescue over the weekend. We received donations of cash, hay, and also some people interested in adding one of our rescues to their family. We have also received online donations through PayPal. Thank you all so much for opening up your hearts to help our equine friends in need. Sending lots of nuzzle muzzles your way!! :)
