TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY! Please help me in celebrating and honoring Wrigley, BG and Gwen by donating to this month’s Drop in the Bucket Fund for Chromes’ rescuers.
Chrome, a 17 year-old Clydesdale, wandered into a bog and was stuck in a horribly muddy sink hole. His fight to free himself only made the situation worse – imagine the churn created by a huge animal fighting for his life in thick mud. When the Butler County Large Animal Response Team (KS) found him, all seemed hopeless.
This is Chrome, stuck deep into a sink hole. If they had a sling, they could have lifted him out. Instead, the muddy mess just got worse – and more dangerous to everyone – until almost all hope was lost.
They tried to free him with a backhoe, but it proved too dangerous for all involved. So, they pulled him out. Pulled. A chain of humans pulled on an 18 hand, 1700lb draft horse – until he was out.
The Butler County Team is the only large animal rescue in all of Kansas. Clearly, they have the determination and grit needed, but they lack a key piece of equipment. An overhead sling.
Please, for my birthday and for Wrigley, BG and Gwen, Let’s help Butler County Large Animal Response Team purchase a sling! Let’s help them so they can continue to save large animals throughout their state!
All donations are 100% tax deductible. We need $2200 to purchase the sling. Thank you in advance! Everyone involved would be so very grateful
Chrome is exhausted from the struggle and laying in this hole WITH THE TRACTOR right there! Could you imagine if this was YOUR HORSE?!
Abandoning the backhoe, they fitted a tarp around Chrome. (Again, imagine how hopeless you would feel right now if you were Chrome’s owner…)
They had a sled nearby – and they pulled, took breaks and pulled.
Exhausted but alive, huge, muddy Chrome ponders what just happened in the safety of a shed.
This is what they needed. And we can get one for them for $2200.
