You all did it again!
Sweet, 36 years young gelding ex-string horse, Justin, will have all the help he needs to care for his pained left eye. Thank you all for your prayers, donations and your sponsorship! Yup, Justin has one new sponsor (Thank you, Lori)! Wahoo!
WASN’T THIS VERY SWEET?! Great idea! THANK YOU, RIDE NIPOMO!
I thought this was such a sweet effort and great idea! One of you readers sent out the March Bucket Fund Story (the 3 orphaned foals) to her riding group email string. She said she would host a lunch or dinner for all in the group who donated.
Wow! Cherie was able to create 19 donations from that one email invitation!! Very successful!
I asked her to take a photo and for the details on her event. She said it made most sense to have a ‘linner’ at 4pm – self serve – easy and fun which allowed the 20 donors to come and go per their schedule. WONDERFUL!
Thank you Cherie and Ride Nipomo Group! You made a difference in the lives of those babies – and had fun for yourselves! Yay!
The horses in the photo are Toby the Pinto 19yrs (3/4 Arab ¼ qrt.) , and Tally 15yrs – the Kentucky Mountain Gaited horse. They attended as well – and so they should!

What great inspiration! One reader asked her riding group to donate to last months Bucket Fund (for the orphaned foals) in exchange for her hosting a lunch! Wonderful! The foals win and these ladies had a grand old time!

I’m so glad the horses, Toby and Tally were able to join the party, too! Great idea, Cherie!! Thank you.

Here is a recent photo of the babies you helped save last month. These are words taken from the site: Brooks on the left, Garth on the right, and spunky little Trisha in the middle with the funny expression while getting a playful nip from Garth. So fun to watch them together!
