Rest In Peace, sweet ones.  ~~ A Horse's Prayer ~~O MY MASTER, when my useful strength is gone, do not turn me out to starve or freeze, or sell me to some cruel owner, to be slowly tortured and starved to death; but do thou, My Master, take my life in the kindest way, and your God will reward you here and hereafter. You will not consider me irreverent if I ask this in the name of Him who was born in a stable. AMEN ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I think it's safe to say that for these four horses, "master" betrayed them. |

I am so sad to hear this...I did not think we would be unscathed, but truly hoped for a miracle.

I agree, PL. I'm so very glad that we have this board, but I'm having a hard time adjusting to the absence of the Support Board! I really relied on that one for inspiration, cheerleading, and to help me figure out which horse could most benefit from my help...

i see angela is on the in memory page too, did she ship too.
i was really rooting for Shasta, being a 'reject' from the bucking string, probably hurt his chances, i was really hoping he would have found a home.

I just got into my email today from work and saw the notice....I was really pulling for Shasta too....praying that it's peaceful for all of them until their time comes, and when it does, that it's a swift passing over the bridge.

I really relied on that one for inspiration, cheerleading, and to help me figure out which horse could most benefit from my help... Thank you for writing what I'm thinking. We failed those horses and it happened unnecessarily. I am sad, angry and very, very disappointed. While I will never be able to prove anything, I believe this is the first of many fallouts due to the boards being shut down. |

This is very upsetting, I know I had fifty for Jangle who was adopted Shasta had several donated to him. Jimgle had forty towards her bail. It seems like there was emough money to save at least one of them. Yes the support board is missed we would have known who had what and what could have been done. I was praying for all of them. I can't understand why after a year of trying to get theanti=slaughter bill passed the senate did not voye on it. What crap is that? This just pisses me off. I hope it's o.k. for rme to be venting my fustration. I'm not trying to cause any harm just upset.

Did they ship? Please, tell me NO. What about Rudy - did he ship? Do we know what happened to him?

They are all listed as gone.
However if you go though all of the horses listed, only some clarify if they shiped, were put down, passed away at home, so on and so forth.
I am sickened by this loss.

Bless their hearts. At least we have a place to share. I believe, I believe, I believe we have turned a corner, and it will get better.

Angela, Bonus, Jingle & Shasta - all unfortunately shipped.
Rudy had a stroke, so the FLO euthanized him.

The same sadness still overwhelms me after all these years. I think of the many that are brutalized each day.
I wish I could see the big picture of it all but I dont...

OH NO!!!!!! what a sad day!!!! Jen I'm with you, I'm just sitting here, holding back the tears, and I'm not sure if they're because of anger, or sadness, or both!!!!!
So many others have already said what I'm thinking, so I'm not going to repeat it...... Just senseless, absolutely senseless.

My heart broke for these four horses. To think that they were dumped off on the lot like garbage. It makes me sick. I was so upset. May their owners have a lifetime of uphill challenges!!!!
On Christmas Eve we attended church and my kids and I lit a candle for each one of them. I hope this comes to an end soon. I have written my Senators and Congresswoman. Hopefully this will be a lucky year and the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act will pass! God bless Bonus, Shasta, Angela & Jingle.
